SLC6A13 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 13

Enables gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in amino acid import across plasma membrane and monocarboxylic acid transport. Located in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

SLC6A12 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 12

Enables gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium:chloride symporter activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid transport and monocarboxylic acid transport. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell projection and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

SLC6A11 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 11

The protein encoded by this gene is a sodium-dependent transporter that uptakes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which ends the GABA neurotransmission. Defects in this gene may result in epilepsy, behavioral problems, or intellectual problems. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

SLC6A10PB Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 8 pseudogene

SLC6A3 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 3

This gene encodes a dopamine transporter which is a member of the sodium- and chloride-dependent neurotransmitter transporter family. The 3' UTR of this gene contains a 40 bp tandem repeat, referred to as a variable number tandem repeat or VNTR, which can be present in 3 to 11 copies. Variation in the number of repeats is associated with idiopathic epilepsy, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dependence on alcohol and cocaine, susceptibility to Parkinson disease and protection against nicotine dependence.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

SLC6A2 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 2

This gene encodes a member of the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter family. This member is a multi-pass membrane protein, which is responsible for reuptake of norepinephrine into presynaptic nerve terminals and is a regulator of norepinephrine homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause orthostatic intolerance, a syndrome characterized by lightheadedness, fatigue, altered mentation and syncope. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

SLC6A1 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter that localizes to the plasma membrane. The encoded protein removes GABA from the synaptic cleft, restoring it to presynaptic terminals. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]

SLC6A7 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 7

This gene is a member of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter gene family and encodes a high-affinity mammalian brain L-proline transporter protein. This transporter protein differs from other sodium-dependent plasma membrane carriers by its pharmacological specificity, kinetic properties, and ionic requirements. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SLC6A6 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 6

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. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

SLC6A5 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 5

This gene encodes a sodium- and chloride-dependent glycine neurotransmitter transporter. This integral membrane glycoprotein is responsible for the clearance of extracellular glycine during glycine-mediated neurotransmission. This protein is found in glycinergic axons and maintains a high presynaptic pool of neurotransmitter at glycinergic synapses. Mutations in this gene cause hyperekplexia; a heterogenous neurological disorder characterized by exaggerated startle responses and neonatal apnea. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

SLC6A4 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 4

This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that transports the neurotransmitter serotonin from synaptic spaces into presynaptic neurons. The encoded protein terminates the action of serotonin and recycles it in a sodium-dependent manner. This protein is a target of psychomotor stimulants, such as amphetamines and cocaine, and is a member of the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter family. A repeat length polymorphism in the promoter of this gene has been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake. There have been conflicting results in the literature about the possible effect, if any, that this polymorphism may play in behavior and depression. [provided by RefSeq, May 2019]

SLC6A9 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter, glycine), member 9

The amino acid glycine acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The protein encoded by this gene is one of two transporters that stop glycine signaling by removing it from the synaptic cleft. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]

SLC6A8 Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 8

The protein encoded by this gene is a plasma membrane protein whose function is to transport creatine into and out of cells. Defects in this gene can result in X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

SLC6A10P Gene

solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 10, pseudogene
