SLC38A11
Description
The SLC38A11 (solute carrier family 38 member 11) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.
This protein is thought to act as a sodium-dependent amino acid/proton antiporter, meaning it uses the energy from sodium ions moving into the cell to transport amino acids out of the cell in exchange for protons (hydrogen ions).
SLC38A11 is also known as AVT2.
