SLC7A2
Chr 8solute carrier family 7 member 2
Also known as: ATRC2, CAT-2A, CAT-2B, CAT2, HCAT2, SLC7A2A, SLC7A2B
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.
