SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) in non-hepatic tissues.
	may also function as an ecotropic retroviral leukemia receptor
	SLC7A1, SLC7A3 mediate influences of NMDA receptor activation on the MTOR pathway that regulates neuronal processes
