(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 6530 |
Official gene symbol | SLC6A2 |
Full name | solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, noradrenalin), member 2 |
Aliases | ,NAT1,NET,NET1,SLC6A5, |
Gene summary | This gene encodes a member of the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter family. This member is a multi-pass membrane protein, which is responsible for reuptake of norepinephrine into presynaptic nerve terminals and is a regulator of norepinephrine homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause orthostatic intolerance, a syndrome characterized by lightheadedness, fatigue, altered mentation and syncope. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene. |
