SLC6A18 encodes a neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT3 which has preference for the amino acid glycine. It is abundantly expressed in the kidney, specifically the S2/3 segments of the kidney proximal tubule. Iminoglycinuria (IG; MIM:242600) or hyperglycinuria (HG; MIM:138500) can arise from defects in SLC36A2, encoding a proton-coupled amino acid transporter 2 (PAT2), a high-affinity cotransporter of glycine and proline. Mutations in SLC6A18 may contribute to both IG and HG. Although SLC6A18 could not be functionally expressed in heterologous systems, surface expression of mutants G79S and G496R in oocytes was abrogated, suggesting loss of functionality (Broer et al. 2008).
