SLC44A4

Chr 6

solute carrier family 44 member 4

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

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]
