SLC6A15, Official Symbol SLC6A15provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 6 member 15provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:13621 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000072041 MIM:607971; AllianceGenome:HGNC:13621 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as V7-3; NTT73; SBAT1; hv7-3 Summary This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 6 protein family which transports neutral amino acids. The encoded protein is thought to play a role in neuronal amino acid transport (PMID: 16185194) and may be associated with major depression (PMID: 21521612). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
