FAMILY

amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as S36A1_HUMAN, SLC36A1, PAT1. Electrogenic proton/amino acid symporter with selectivity for small apolar L-amino acids, their D-enantiomers and selected amino acid derivatives such as 4-aminobutanoate/GABA (PubMed:12809675, PubMed:12527723, PubMed:19549785). May be involved in the efflux from the lysosomal compartment of neutral amino acids resulting from proteolysis (By similarity). May play a role in specifying sites for exocytosis in neurons (By similarity).
