Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables gamma-aminobutyric acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid import. Located in lysosomal membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut gland; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Used to study blindness and sensorineural hearing loss. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 68. Orthologous to human SLC7A14 (solute carrier family 7 member 14).
