About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for SLC38A4: SLC38A4 is found predominantly in liver and transports both cationic and neutral amino acids. The transport of cationicamino acids by SLC38A4 is Na(+) and pH independent, while the transport of neutral amino acids is Na(+) and pHdependent (Hatanaka et al., 2001 (PubMed 11342143)).(supplied by OMIM) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: S38A4_HUMAN, Q969I6Function: Sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates electrogenic symport of neutral amino acids and sodiumions. Has a broad specificity, with a preference for Ala, followed by His, Cys, Asn, Ser, Gly, Val, Thr, Gln and Met.May mediate sodium-independent transport of cationic amino acids, such as Arg and Lys. Amino acid uptake ispH-dependent, with low transport activities at pH 6.5, intermediate at pH 7.0 and highest between pH 7.5 and 8.5
