| Function |
Sodium-dependent taurine and beta-alanine transporter. Chloride ions are necessary for optimal uptake. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8382624}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed abundantly in placenta and skeletal muscle, at intermediate levels in heart, brain, lung, kidney and pancreas and at low levels in liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8382624}.
