Summary: Enables glycine transmembrane transporter activity and thyroid hormone transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in amino acid transport and thyroid hormone transport. Acts upstream of or within L-amino acid transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Used to study sensorineural hearing loss. Orthologous to human SLC7A8 (solute carrier family 7 member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
