Gene:
solute carrier family 6 (proline IMINO transporter), member 20
Gene ID:
198702
Symbol:
SLC6A20
Species:
1000
Description:
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 is a member of the subgroup of transporter with unidentified substrates within the Na+ and Cl- coupled transporter family. This gene is expressed in kidney, and its alternative splicing generates 2 transcript variants.
