SLC6A14 blocking peptide
SLC6A14 Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 6. Members of this family are sodium and chloride dependent neurotransmitter transporters. The encoded protein transports both neutral and cationic amino acids. This protein may also function as a beta-alanine carrier. Mutations in this gene may be associated with X-linked obesity. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Uniprot Description
SLC6A14: Mediates the uptake of a broad range of neutral and cationic amino acids (with the exception of proline) in a Na(+)/Cl(-)-dependent manner. Genetic variations in SLC6A14 may be associated with obesity in some populations, as shown by significant differences in allele frequencies between obese and non-obese individuals. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A14 subfamily.
