Description
Product Characteristics: FUNCTION: Mediates the uptake of the cationic amino acids arginine, lysine and ornithine in a sodium-independent manner. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane, Multi-pass membrane protein TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in adult brain and in a wide variety of embryonic tissues.,SLC7 Family,CTR3, CAT-3, CAT3, Cationic amino acid transporter y+, Solute carrier family 7 member 3, SLC7A3, ATRC3
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 7. The encoded protein is a sodium-independent cationic amino acid transporter. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcripts that encoded the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
