About Slc6a4

Chromosome 11: 76,889,429-76,923,166 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001004.3

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 205 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 59 phenotypes. Broad expression in large intestine adult (RPKM 24.9), small intestine adult (RPKM 15.4) and 16 other tissues.

Summary

Enables monoamine transmembrane transporter activity; neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity; and nitric-oxide synthase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including brain morphogenesis; serotonin uptake; and social behavior. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to organic substance. Located in focal adhesion and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; liver; nervous system; ovary; and polar body. Used to study autism spectrum disorder and sudden infant death syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; alexithymia; anxiety disorder (multiple); heart disease (multiple); and mental depression (multiple). Orthologous to human SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
