SLC6A14 — Solute carrier family 6 member 14
SLC6A14 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 30 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
Amino acid transporter that plays an important role in the absorption of amino acids in the intestinal tract. Mediates the uptake of a broad range of neutral and cationic amino acids (with the exception of proline) in a Na(+)/Cl(-)-dependent manner. Transports non-alpha-amino acids such as beta- alanine with low affinity, and has a higher affinity for dipolar and cationic amino acids such as leucine and lysine. Can also transport carnitine, butirylcarnitine and propionylcarnitine coupled to the transmembrane gradients of Na(+) and Cl(-).
