Slc7a3 - solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 3 Gene

Also Known as CAT3; Atrc3; CAT-3; SLC7A1; SLC7A2

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 11989

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the system y+ cationic Amino acid Transporter family. Proteins of this family allow uptake of arginine from extracellular media. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
