Gene: SLC6A20

Alternate names for this Gene: IMINO|SIT1|XT3|Xtrp3

Gene 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 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3p21.31
