SLC44A4 solute carrier family 44 member 4 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 80736)

Symbol: SLC44A4

Full name: solute carrier family 44 member 4

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: C6orf29; CTL4; DFNA72; NG22; TPPT; hTPPT1

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene may be a sodium-dependent transmembrane transport protein involved in the uptake of choline by cholinergic neurons. Defects in this gene can cause sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Expression: Biased expression in colon (RPKM 98.7), stomach (RPKM 72.4) and 9 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 15806bp

Exon count: 22
