22598 O88576 S6A18_MOUSE Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT3 (Sodium- and chloride-dependent transporter XTRP2) (Solute carrier family 6 member 18) (System B(0) neutral amino acid transporter AT3) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Animals lacking this protein exhibit no gross abnormalities and grow to adulthood, although they do exhibit hypertension. The elevated blood pressure appears to be attributable to a decreased level of renal glycine. High-affinity renal reabsorption of glycine is eliminated and intrarenal glycine concentration is reduced. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15121838}.
