About Slc6a9

Chromosome 4: 117,691,703-117,732,395 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000997.3

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 25 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in liver E14.5 (RPKM 33.4), cerebellum adult (RPKM 3.9) and 27 other tissues.

Summary

Enables glycine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in glycine import across plasma membrane; neurotransmitter uptake; and positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within glycine secretion, neurotransmission. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and liver and biliary system. Used to study glycine encephalopathy. Orthologous to human SLC6A9 (solute carrier family 6 member 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
