SLC6A2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human SLC6A2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 16q12.2 and is approximately 51 kb in length. This allele, which encodes sodium-dependent noradrenaline transporter protein, is involved in the transport of norepinephrine into presynaptic cells. Variation of the gene is associated with orthostatic intolerance.
