Target intelligence / Profile preview

Solute Carrier Family 6 Member 9 (SLC6A9)

Target
SLC6A9
Molecular classification
Solute Carrier Family 6 (SLC6), Transporter, Membrane protein
01

Overview

Solute carrier family member SLC6A9 encodes an essential neuronal transporter regulating inhibitory neurotransmission via control over extracellular levels of the amino acid transmitter *glycine*. It represents both an important physiological regulator within neural circuits and an emerging drug target.
