Human Gene SLC43A2 (ENST00000301335.10) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens solute carrier family 43 member 2 (SLC43A2), transcript variant 2, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_152346)
RefSeq Summary (NM_152346): This gene encodes a member of the L-amino acid transporter-3 or SLC43 family of transporters. The encoded protein mediates sodium-, chloride-, and pH-independent transport of L-isomers of neutral amino acids, including leucine, phenylalanine, valine and methionine. This protein may contribute to the transfer of amino acids across the placental membrane to the fetus. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016].

  ID: LAT4_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 4; AltName: Full=L-type amino acid transporter 4; AltName: Full=Solute carrier family 43 member 2;
FUNCTION: Sodium-, chloride-, and pH-independent high affinity transport of large neutral amino acids.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in several tissues with higher expression in placenta, kidney and peripheral blood leukocytes. In the kidney, is detected in epithelial cells of the distal tubule and collecting duct. In the intestine, is expressed mainly in crypt cells of the intestinal microvilli and epithelial cells in the base of the villus.
PTM: Glycosylated (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SLC43A transporter (TC 2.A.1.44) family.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAC11383.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=BAC11450.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
