    text expressed in various tissues, including the intestinal wall, blood-brain barrier, and kidney (Del Amo 2008)
    basic FUNCTION
  • sodium-independent, high- affinity, transport of large neutral amino-acids, involved in cellular amino-acid uptake
  • AA permease-related protein which for surface expression and function requires formation of disulfide-linked heterodimers with the glycosylated heavy chain of the h4F2/CD98 surface antigen (Pfeiffer 1999)
  • playing a key role in maintaining large neutral amino acids as well as neurotransmitters in the neural retina
  • with SLC7A8, functions as influx and/or efflux transport machinery displaying a greater propensity for the outward transport of large and small neutral amino acids (Omidi 2008)
  • major transporter of tyrosine in human fibroblast cells (Vumma 21008)
  • may be important to modulate thyroid hormone effects on osteoblast differentiation and on bone development and metabolism (Capelo 2009)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • heterodimerizing with the cell surface glycoprotein 4F2 heavy chain (CD98) to form a complex mediating L-type (sodium independent exchange) of large neutral amino acids transport
  • system-L (SLC7A5, SLC7A8, SLC7A7, SLC7A6), which is the major transporter of tyrosine
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • NCAPD3 down-regulates transcription of genes that encode amino acid transporters (SLC7A5 and SLC3A2) to promote bacterial autophagy by colon epithelial cells
