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. |
Post Translational Modifications | Taurine transport activity is down-regulated upon Ser-322 phosphorylation. |
Function | Mediates sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of taurine. Mediates transport of beta-alanine. Can also mediate transport of hypotaurine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Sodium-dependent taurine and beta-alanine transporter. Chloride ions are necessary for optimal uptake. |
