Gene information for SLC12A6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9990
Official gene symbolSLC12A6
Full namesolute carrier family 12 (potassium/chloride transporters), member 6
Aliases,ACCPN,DKFZp434D2135,KCC3,KCC3A,KCC3B,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the K-Cl cotransporter (KCC) family. K-Cl cotransporters are integral membrane proteins that lower intracellular chloride concentrations below the electrochemical equilibrium potential. The proteins encoded by this gene are activated by cell swelling induced by hypotonic conditions. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Mutations in this gene are associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum with peripheral neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq]
