snf-6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables PDZ domain binding activity and acetylcholine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in acetylcholine transport; choline transport; and positive regulation of locomotion. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; enteric muscle; neurons; and vulval muscle. Used to study Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperekplexia 3 and obesity. Is an ortholog of human SLC6A14 (solute carrier family 6 member 14) and SLC6A5 (solute carrier family 6 member 5).
