{"symbol":"SLC6A6","synonyms":["TAUT"],"name":"solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 6","description":"This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is a member of a family of sodium and chloride-ion dependent transporters. The encoded protein transports taurine and beta-alanine. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 21. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
