Gene information for SLC6A18 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID348932
Official gene symbolSLC6A18
Full namesolute carrier family 6, member 18
Aliases,FLJ31236,Xtrp2,
Gene summaryThe 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]
