About SLC7A11

Cytogenetic location: 4q28.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:138,164,097-138,312,671 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 289 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 12.7), thyroid (RPKM 4.9) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a heteromeric, sodium-independent, anionic amino acid transport system that is highly specific for cysteine and glutamate. In this system, designated Xc(-), the anionic form of cysteine is transported in exchange for glutamate. This protein has been identified as the predominant mediator of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus fusion and entry permissiveness into cells. Also, increased expression of this gene in primary gliomas (compared to normal brain tissue) was associated with increased glutamate secretion via the XCT channels, resulting in neuronal cell death.
