SLC44A4 - solute carrier family 44 member 4 Gene
Also Known as CTL4; NG22; TPPT; DFNA72; hTPPT1; C6orf29
Species: Homo sapiens
About SLC44A4
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 196 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 98.7), stomach (RPKM 72.4) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene may be a sodium-dependent transmembrane transport protein involved in the uptake of choline by cholinergic neurons. Defects in this gene can cause sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
