Gene name
SLC6A17
Synonyms
Description
Solute carrier family 6 (neutral amino acid transporter), member 17 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The SLC6 family of proteins, which includes SLC6A17, acts as specific transporters for neurotransmitters, amino acids, and osmolytes like betaine, taurine, and creatine. SLC6 proteins are sodium cotransporters that derive the energy for solute transport from the electrochemical gradient for sodium ions (Hoglund et al., 2005 [PubMed 16125675]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
