Solute carrier family 6, member 20 also known as SLC6A20 is a gene that encodes for the Sodium/imino-acid transporter 1 (SIT1) protein, a plasma membrane proline and glycine transporter.
Transport of small hydrophilic substances across cell membranes is mediated by substrate-specific transporter proteins which have been classified into several families of related genes. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) family and functions as a proline transporter expressed in kidney and small intestine. Mutations in this gene are associated with Hyperglycinuria and Iminoglycinuria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020].

Solute carrier family 6, member 20 also known as SLC6A20 is a gene that encodes for the Sodium/imino-acid transporter 1 (SIT1) protein, a plasma membrane proline and glycine transporter.
== Function == The Sodium/imino-acid transporter 1 (SIT1) protein is a member of the solute carrier superfamily of transport proteins. SIT1 is a Na+ and Cl− coupled symporter, like other SLC6 amino acid and amine transporters, and a homolog of the Bacterial Leucine Transporter.
