SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus
text	membrane protein, as an important component of the matrix assembly machinery
	is a disulfide-linked heterodimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein

basic FUNCTION	involved in T cell activation and in normal and neoplastic cell growth
	can control the capacity of cells to assemble an Fibronectin matrix, a process important in development, wound healing, and tumorigenesis
	may cooperate with other cytoplasmic domain binding proteins to modulate integrin functions and into the evolution of integrin signaling
	involved in the export of the diamine putrescine and monoacetylated spermidine
	extracellular signaling through ecto-protein kinases (EPKs) might lead to ecto-phosphorylation of SLC3A2 and influence its multiple functions, including its role in cell-cell interactions
	mediating notoriously invasive activity of extravillous trophoblast by promoting alpha(v)beta(3) integrin-dependent signals
	importance of SLC2A3 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation and survival
	is likely involved in integrin trafficking and by consequence, in keratinocyte adhesion and differentiation
	play an important role in the activation and functions of macrophages
	in colitis, regulates the expansion of autoimmune CD4(+) T cells in addition to controlling nTregs functions
	SLC3A2/BSG complex significantly contributes to poor prognosis of NSCLC patients through promoting cell proliferation via the PI3K/Akt pathway
	contributes to carcinogenesis by amplifying a positive feedback loop, which increases both extracellular matrix stiffness and resulting cellular responses
	CD99 and SLC3A2 oppositely regulate ITGB1 signaling

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	heterodimerizing with 4F2HC chain such as SLC7A5, SLC7A7 and others
	disulfide-linked heterodimer of a glycosylated heavy chain and a nonglycosylated light chain
	component of a transporter capable of exporting the diamine putrescine
	BSG an SLC3A2 form a complex on the cell plasma membrane of several cancers
	heavy chain component of the dimeric transmembrane glycoprotein CD98, which comprises the large neutral amino acid transporter LAT1 (SLC7A5) in cells
	is a disulfide-linked 125-kDa heterodimeric type II transmembrane glycoprotein

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interaction with ITGB1 is required for transformation
	interacting with FAM57A and GGTL3
	SLC3A2 and SAT1 may form a complex at the plasma membrane (may interact with SLC3A2 to couple acetylation and export of the longer chain polyamines, spermidine and spermine)
	interaction with SAT1 (these proteins may be facilitate excretion of acetylated polyamines)
	MARCH8 expression completely shifted the trafficking of CD44 and SLC3A2 proteins away from recycling tubules to early endosome antigen 1 compartments and late endosomes, resulting in reduced surface levels
	MARCH8 is involved direct ubiquitination of SLC3A2 and routing of SLC3A2 to late endosomes/lysosomes
	deregulation of RHOA activation in the absence of SLC3A2 is also a result of impaired SLC3A2-dependent amino acid transports
	NCAPD3 down-regulates transcription of genes that encode amino acid transporters (SLC7A5 and SLC3A2) to promote bacterial autophagy by colon epithelial cells
	HSV-1 recruited cellular fusion regulatory proteins SLC3A2 and ITGB1 to the nuclear membrane for viral de-envelopment fusion
	SLC3A2 is transcriptionally regulated and ectopic expression of the membrane-associated RING-CH (MARCH) E3 ubiquitin ligases MARCHF1 or MARCHF8 leads to ubiquitylation and lysosomal degradation of SLC3A2
