About SLC6A5

Cytogenetic location: 11p15.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:20,599,608-20,659,285 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

This gene encodes a sodium- and chloride-dependent glycine neurotransmitter transporter. This integral membrane glycoprotein is responsible for the clearance of extracellular glycine during glycine-mediated neurotransmission. This protein is found in glycinergic axons and maintains a high presynaptic pool of neurotransmitter at glycinergic synapses. Mutations in this gene cause hyperekplexia; a heterogenous neurological disorder characterized by exaggerated startle responses and neonatal apnea. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
