Also Known as ATA3; NAT3; PAAT; SNAT4

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding

Gene ID: 55089

About SLC38A4

Cytogenetic location: 12q13.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:46,764,761-46,832,431 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 218 orthologues and 15 paralogues. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 138.1).

Summary

SLC38A4 is found predominantly in liver and transports both cationic and neutral Amino acids. The transport of cationic Amino acids by SLC38A4 is Na(+) and pH independent, while the transport of neutral Amino acids is Na(+) and pH dependent (Hatanaka et al., 2001 [PubMed 11342143]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
