SLC36A4 — Solute carrier family 36 member 4
SLC36A4 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Uniporter that mediates the transport of neutral amino acids like L-tryptophan, proline and alanine. The transport activity is sodium ions-independent, electroneutral and therefore functions via facilitated diffusion
