Description

Enables glycine transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glycine transport; inhibitory postsynaptic potential; and regulation of glycinergic synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in fourth ventricle; hindbrain; neural rod; optic tectum; and spinal cord. Used to study idiopathic scoliosis. Orthologous to human SLC6A9 (solute carrier family 6 member 9).
