SLC7A7 - solute carrier family 7 member 7 Gene
Also Known as LPI; LAT3; MOP-2; Y+LAT1; y+LAT-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About SLC7A7
This gene has 24 transcripts (splice variants), 213 orthologues, 12 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 96.7), small intestine (RPKM 45.3) and 11 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is the light subunit of a cationic Amino acid Transporter. This sodium-independent transporter is formed when the light subunit encoded by this gene dimerizes with the heavy subunit transporter protein SLC3A2. This transporter is found in epithelial cell membranes where it transfers cationic and large neutral Amino acids from the cell to the extracellular space. Defects in this gene are a cause of lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
