Gene information for SLC3A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6520
Official gene symbolSLC3A2
Full namesolute carrier family 3 (activators of dibasic and neutral amino acid transport), member 2
Aliases,4F2,4F2HC,4T2HC,CD98,CD98HC,MDU1,NACAE,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the solute carrier family and encodes a cell surface, transmembrane protein. The protein exists as the heavy chain of a heterodimer, covalently bound through di-sulfide bonds to one of several possible light chains. The encoded transporter plays a role in regulation of intracellular calcium levels and transports L-type amino acids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
