Gene: SLC38A4

Alternate names for this Gene: ATA3|NAT3|PAAT|SNAT4

Gene Summary: SLC38A4 is found predominantly in liver and transports both cationic and neutral amino acids. The transport of cationic amino acids by SLC38A4 is Na(+) and pH independent, while the transport of neutral amino acids is Na(+) and pH dependent (Hatanaka et al., 2001 [PubMed 11342143]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q13.11
