SLC36A4


Description

The SLC36A4 (solute carrier family 36 member 4) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.

SLC36A4 is a uniporter that facilitates the transport of neutral amino acids, such as L-tryptophan, proline, and alanine. This transport process is independent of sodium ions and is electroneutral, indicating that it functions via facilitated diffusion.

SLC36A4 is also known as PAT4.
