GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	SLC6A6 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	TAUT
Description	Solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 6 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	This gene encodes a multi-pass membrane protein that is a member of a family of sodium and chloride-ion dependent transporters. The encoded protein transports taurine and beta-alanine. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 21. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
