SLC6A11, Official Symbol SLC6A11provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 6 member 11provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:11044 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000132164 MIM:607952; AllianceGenome:HGNC:11044 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GAT3; GAT4; GAT-3 Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a sodium-dependent transporter that uptakes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter, which ends the GABA neurotransmission. Defects in this gene may result in epilepsy, behavioral problems, or intellectual problems. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
