Description

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, glycine), member 5

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable glycine:sodium symporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter reuptake. Is active in glycinergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; esophagus; lens; and male reproductive gland or organ. Used to study hyperekplexia 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 3. Orthologous to human SLC6A5 (solute carrier family 6 member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
