Gene name

SLC6A18 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

FLJ31236, Xtrp2

Description

Solute carrier family 6 (neutral amino acid transporter), member 18 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The SLC6 family of proteins, which includes SLC6A18, act 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, Apr 2010]
