This gene functions in the termination of excitatory neurotransmission in central nervous system. Mutations are associated with episodic ataxia, Type 6. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014] Expression Biased expression in brain (RPKM 174.8) and fat (RPKM 10.9) See more Orthologs mouse all
