Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium:chloride symporter activity and taurine:sodium symporter activity. Involved in neurotransmitter uptake. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human SLC6A11 (solute carrier family 6 member 11). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation display postnatal lethality. Mice heterozygous for a targeted mutation display resistance to pharmacologically induced seizures. [provided by MGI curators] |
