Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP02139
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Sodium- and chloride-dependent taurine transporter
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Solute carrier family 6 member 6
Gene Name SLC6A6
Protein Type Transporter
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in neurotransmitter:sodium symporter activity
Specific Function Required for the uptake of taurine. Transports both taurine and beta-alanine which requires sodium ions. Chloride ions are necessary for optimal uptake.
