HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	SLC6 family of structurally related, Na+-dependent transporter proteins
	sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family

CATEGORY

transport carrier

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	predominant localization of heterologously expressed NTT4/XT1 to intracellular membranes )
	synaptic vesicles
	expression specifically in glutamatergic and some GABAergic neurons

basic FUNCTION	neutral amino acid transporter with a substrate profile similar to SLC6A15
	orphan transporter, Na(+)-dependent, Cl(-)-independent
	functions as a selective transporter of four amino acids (proline, glycine, leucine, and alanine), as well as glutamate
	synaptic vesicular transporter of neutral amino acids and glutamate, playing an important role in the regulation of glutamatergic synapses
