SLC43A1
Description
The SLC43A1 (solute carrier family 43 member 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 3 is a protein encoded by the SLC43A1 gene in humans. This gene is associated with the transport of neutral amino acids.
This transporter facilitates the movement of neutral amino acids, including L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine, and L-phenylalanine, across cell membranes. This process is independent of sodium ions, maintains an electrically neutral balance, and relies on facilitated diffusion.
SLC43A1 is also known as LAT3, PB39, POV1, R00504.
