- Description
- Enables taurine:sodium symporter activity. Acts upstream of or within taurine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in cell projection and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including blastomere; cardiovascular system; nervous system; optic vesicle; and presumptive neural retina. Orthologous to human SLC6A6 (solute carrier family 6 member 6).
