SC6A5_HUMAN (UniProt)
Gene names:
  SLC6A5, GLYT2, NET1
Protein names and data:
  SC6A5_HUMAN, Full=Sodium- and chloride-dependent glycine transporter 2;Short=GlyT-2;Short=GlyT2, Full=Solute carrier family 6 member 5;
  Length: 797 a.a., Mass: 87434 Da, 
    fasta formatted sequence
  Function:
   Terminates the action of glycine by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals. May be responsible for the termination of neurotransmission at strychnine-sensitive glycinergic synapses
  Disease:
  
          (OMIM:
      		604159		614618)
         Defects in SLC6A5 are the cause of hyperekplexia type 3 (HKPX3) [MIM:614618]. HKPX3 is a neurologic disorder characterized by neonatal hypertonia, an exaggerated startle response to tactile or acoustic stimuli, and life- threatening neonatal apnea episodes. Notably, in some cases, symptoms resolved in the first year of life  
  
  Cellular location:
   Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
  Tissue specificity:
   Expressed in medulla, and to a lesser extent in spinal cord and cerebellum
