General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the uptake of GABA and glycine into the synaptic vesicles.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Brain. Expressed at high levels within the neocortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, striatum, septal nuclei and the reticular nucleus of the thalamus. Also expressed in islets where it is more abundant in the peripheral/mantle region.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
