Rabbit Anti-SLC7A3 antibody
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the system y+ cationic amino acid transporter family. Proteins of this family allow uptake of arginine from extracellular media. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
Function:
Mediates the uptake of the cationic amino acids arginine, lysine and ornithine in a sodium-independent manner.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in thymus, uterus and testis. Detected at lower levels in brain, mammary gland, prostate, salivary gland and fetal spleen. In brain, highest expression in thalamus, hippocampus and amygdala.
Post-translational modifications:
N-glycosylated.
Similarity:
Belongs to the amino acid-polyamine-organocation (APC) superfamily.
Cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) (TC 2.A.3.3) family.
