Function
MALE_ECOLI Involved in the high-affinity maltose membrane transport system MalEFGK. Initial receptor for the active transport of and chemotaxis toward maltooligosaccharides.S6A12_HUMAN Transporter that mediates cellular uptake of betaine and GABA in a sodium- and chloride-dependent process (PubMed:7589472). May have a role in regulation of GABAergic transmission in the brain through the reuptake of GABA into presynaptic terminals, as well as in osmotic regulation. Probably also involved in renal and hepatic osmotic regulation (By similarity).[UniProtKB:P31651][1]
