Cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) (TC 2.A.3.3) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as CTR3_HUMAN, SLC7A3, ATRC3, CAT3. Uniporter that mediates the uptake of cationic L-amino acids such as L-arginine, L-lysine and L-ornithine (PubMed:11591158). The transport is sodium ions- and pH-independent, moderately trans-stimulated and is mediated by passive diffusion (PubMed:11591158).
