TPPT1
The protein encoded by this gene may be a sodium-dependent transmembrane transport protein involved in the uptake of choline by cholinergic neurons. Defects in this gene can cause sialidosis, a lysosomal storage disease. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
Forensic Context
A study in human prostate tissue demonstrated that the long non-coding RNA ENST00000479777, which is associated with the gene SLC44A4, was significantly upregulated in samples with a high postmortem interval (PMI) compared to those with a low PMI [Javan et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-025-29561-7].
