Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 64220
Gene name Signaling receptor and transporter of retinol STRA6
Gene symbol STRA6
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MCOPCB8MCOPS9PP14296SLC69A1
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q24.1
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein involved in the metabolism of retinol. The encoded protein acts as a receptor for retinol/retinol binding protein complexes. This protein removes the retinol from the complex and transports it across
