    HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • solute carrier family 7, cationic amino-acid
  • k1 glycoprotein associated aminoacid transporter family
    CATEGORY transport carrier
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • high-affinity permease for methionine
  • potentially a major contribution to the transport of cationic amino acids in pachytene spermatocytes and early spermatids
  • Na+-independent neutral l-amino acid transporter, that may may play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of podocyte structure and function by regulating protein synthesis and the actin cytoskeleton
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS active transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism aminoacid
    signaling
    a component
  • heterodimerizing with the cell surface glycoprotein to form a complex mediating y+L -type transporter exchanging cationic aminoacids and/or neutral aminoacids together with sodium
  • system-L (SLC7A5, SLC7A8, SLC7A7, SLC7A6), which is the major transporter of tyrosine
