Rabbit Anti-SLC6A14/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 6. Members of this family are sodium and chloride dependent neurotransmitter transporters. The encoded protein transports both neutral and cationic amino acids. This protein may also function as a beta-alanine carrier. Mutations in this gene may be associated with X-linked obesity. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Function:
Mediates the uptake of a broad range of neutral and cationic amino acids (with the exception of proline) in a Na+/Cl--dependent manner.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Levels are highest in adult and fetal lung, in trachea and salivary gland. Lower levels detected in mammary gland, stomach and pituitary gland, and very low levels in colon, uterus, prostate and testis.
DISEASE:
Genetic variations in SLC6A14 may be associated with obesity in some populations, as shown by significant differences in allele frequencies between obese and non-obese individuals.
Similarity:
Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A14 subfamily.
