a plasma membrane transporter - localizes in the dendrites of mushroom body neurons - terminates synaptic transmission from cholinergic projection neurons through uptake of the released neurotransmitter acetylcholine - enhances olfactory memory by allowing the neurotransmitter signal from projection neurons to be more persistent

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
SLC22A protein is detected in the ventral and lateral part o the mushroom body calyx and the ventral side of the protocerebral bridge. Expression in alpha/beta Kenyon cells is strongest in the neuropil whereas it is also detected in cell bodies of alpha'/beta' Kenyon cells.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

SLC22A limits normal memory formation, acting by regulating cholinergic neurotransmission at the projection neuron:mushroom body neuron synapse.
