About SLC38A2

Cytogenetic location: 12q13.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:46,358,188-46,372,773 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 260 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 105.3), liver (RPKM 101.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Enables neutral amino acid:sodium symporter activity. Involved in several processes, including amino acid transport; cellular response to arsenite(3-); and positive regulation of RNA splicing. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
