background:
The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine uptake into synaptic vesicles. The encoded protein is a member of amino acid/polyamine transporter family II. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
Involved in the uptake of GABA and glycine into the synaptic vesicles.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Retina. Expressed throughout the horizontal cells or more specifically at the terminals.
Similarity:
Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
