Protein name

Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4

Comment

FUNCTION:Sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates electrogenic symport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions. Has a broad specificity, with a preference for Ala, followed by His, Cys, Asn, Ser, Gly, Val, Thr, Gln and Met. May mediate sodium- independent transport of cationic amino acids, such as Arg and Lys. Amino acid uptake is pH-dependent, with low transport activities at pH 6.5, intermediate at pH 7.0 and highest between pH 7.5 and 8.5.||BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES:pH dependence: Optimum pH is 7.5-8.5;||SUBCELLULAR LOCATION:Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.||TISSUE SPECIFICITY:Detected in embryonic and adult liver, and at lower levels in adult muscle, kidney and pancreas. Detected in placenta syncytiotrophoblasts throughout gestation. Detected in fetal blood vessels.||SIMILARITY:Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
