Description
Predicted to have gamma-aminobutyric acid:sodium symporter activity and neurotransmitter binding activity. Predicted to localize to neuron projection and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in creatine transporter deficiency and intellectual disability. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; eye; heart; optic vesicle; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human SLC6A8 (solute carrier family 6 member 8).
