QuickView for SLC7A2 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

SLC7A2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

solute carrier family 7 member 2

Synonyms:

ATRC2, CAT2, HCAT2, cationic amino acid transporter 2, low affinity cationic amino acid transporter 2, solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 8: 17440665-17472352

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a cationic amino acid transporter and a member of the APC (amino acid-polyamine-organocation) family of transporters. The encoded membrane protein is responsible for the cellular uptake of arginine, lysine and ornithine. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
