SLC6A6 - solute carrier family 6 member 6 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as TAUT; HTRDC

Gene ID: 6533 | Gene type: protein coding

About SLC6A6

Cytogenetic location: 3p25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:14,402,576-14,489,349 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 298 orthologues, 19 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 26.5), spleen (RPKM 20.3) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is a member of a family of sodium and chloride-ion dependent transporters. The encoded protein transports taurine and beta-alanine. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 21. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
