Protein function (UniProt)

Sodium- and chloride-dependent glycine transporter 2

Sodium- and chloride-dependent glycine transporter (PubMed:10381548, PubMed:10606742, PubMed:16751771, PubMed:31370103, PubMed:9845349). Terminates the action of glycine by its high affinity sodium-dependent reuptake into presynaptic terminals (PubMed:9845349). May be responsible for the termination of neurotransmission at strychnine-sensitive glycinergic synapses (PubMed:9845349)
