Slc7a8 - solute carrier family 7 member 8 Gene

Also Known as Lat2; Lat4

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 84551

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including neutral amino acid transmembrane transporter activity; peptide antigen binding activity; and thyroid hormone transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in amino acid transport and thyroid hormone transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within L-amino acid transport. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and microvillus membrane. Orthologous to human SLC7A8 (solute carrier family 7 member 8).
