General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the sodium-independent uptake of dibasic amino acids and sodium-dependent uptake of some neutral amino acids. Requires coexpression with SLC3A2/4F2hc to mediate the uptake of arginine, leucine and glutamine. Also acts as an arginine/glutamine exchanger, following an antiport mechanism for amino acid transport, influencing arginine release in exchange for extracellular amino acids. Plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis via transport of L-arginine. Involved in the transport of L-arginine in monocytes. Reduces uptake of ornithine in retinal pigment epithelial cells By similarity. UniProtKB Q92536

Subunit structure

Disulfide-linked heterodimer with the amino acid transport protein SLC3A2/4F2hc By similarity. UniProtKB Q92536

Subcellular location

Basolateral cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity UniProtKB Q92536.

Tissue specificity

Strongest expression in brain but also detected in testis, parotis, small intestine, heart and kidney. Weakly expressed in spleen, lung and liver. Ref.4

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily. L-type amino acid transporter (LAT) (TC 2.A.3.8) family. [View classification]

Sequence caution

The sequence AAH38404.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at position 345.

The sequence BAC97909.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
