SLC6A20

Solute carrier family 6, member 20 also known as SLC6A20 is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC6A20 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Transport of small hydrophilic substances across cell membranes is mediated by substrate-specific transporter proteins which have been classified into several families of related genes. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the subgroup of transporter with unidentified substrates within the Na+ and Cl− coupled transporter family. This gene is expressed in kidney, and its alternative splicing generates 2 transcript variants.

Clinical significance
Mutation in the SLC6A20 gene are associated with is_associated_with::iminoglycinuria.
