Disease

SC6A2_HUMAN Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome due to NET deficiency. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

SC6A2_HUMAN Mediates sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline) (PubMed:2008212, PubMed:8125921). Can also mediate sodium- and chloride-dependent transport of dopamine (PubMed:11093780, PubMed:8125921).^{[1] [2] [3]}
