Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
- UniProt Summary: Mediates the calcium-dependent uptake of imino acids such as L-proline, N-methyl-L-proline and pipecolate as well as N- methylated amino acids. Involved in the transport of glycine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15632147, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19033659}.
