    Summary
    Enables beta-alanine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in beta-alanine transport and histamine biosynthetic process. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in adult head; eye; pigment cell; and spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute kidney failure. Orthologous to human SLC22A1 (solute carrier family 22 member 1); SLC22A2 (solute carrier family 22 member 2); and SLC22A3 (solute carrier family 22 member 3).
