(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID81539
Official gene symbolSLC38A1
Full namesolute carrier family 38, member 1
Aliases,ATA1,NAT2,SAT1,SNAT1,
Gene summaryAmino acid transporters play essential roles in the uptake of nutrients, production of energy, chemical metabolism, detoxification, and neurotransmitter cycling. SLC38A1 is an important transporter of glutamine, an intermediate in the detoxification of ammonia and the production of urea. Glutamine serves as a precursor for the synaptic transmitter, glutamate (Gu et al., 2001 [PubMed 11325958]).[supplied by OMIM]
