| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables neurotransmitter transmembrane transporter activity; nitric-oxide synthase binding activity; and serotonin:sodium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; platelet aggregation; and serotonin uptake. Located in focal adhesion and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; heart; liver; nervous system; and ovary. Used to study autism spectrum disorder and sudden infant death syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; anxiety disorder (multiple); depressive disorder (multiple); heart disease (multiple); and substance abuse (multiple). Orthologous to human SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 member 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit greatly diminished brain serotonin levels and lack cortical barrel patterns. Also, mutants lack the locomotor enhancing response to the drug (+)-3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine. [provided by MGI curators] |
