solute carrier family 17 member 6

Gene Summary

Enables chloride channel activity and secondary active transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including hippocampus development; neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle; and sodium-dependent phosphate transport. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle; excitatory synapse; and pericellular basket. Is active in synaptic vesicle membrane. Biomarker of transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human SLC17A6 (solute carrier family 17 member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
