SLC29A4 solute carrier family 29 member 4

Gene ID: 222962, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ENT4; PMAT

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the SLC29A/ENT transporter protein family. The encoded membrane protein catalyzes the reuptake of monoamines into presynaptic neurons, thus determining the intensity and duration of monoamine neural signaling. It has been shown to transport several compounds, including serotonin, dopamine, and the neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
