Reaction: SLC6A6-mediated uptake of taurine and beta-alanine
- in pathway: Na+/Cl- dependent neurotransmitter transporters
The plasma membrane transport protein SLC6A6 mediates the uptake of taurine and beta-alanine. Together with each amino acid molecule, 2 sodium ions and 1 chloride ion are taken up. SLC6A6 is widely expressed in the body (Ramamoorthy et al. 1994).
