SLC6A20 solute carrier family 6 member 20

Gene ID: 54716, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: XT3; SIT1; IMINO; Xtrp3

Summary

Transport of small hydrophilic substances across cell membranes is mediated by substrate-specific transporter proteins which have been classified into several families of related genes. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family and functions as a proline transporter expressed in kidney and small intestine. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hyperglycinuria and Iminoglycinuria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]
