Gene: SLC3A2
Alternate names for this Gene: 4F2|4F2HC|4T2HC|CD98|CD98HC|MDU1|NACAE
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the solute carrier family and encodes a cell surface, transmembrane protein. The protein exists as the heavy chain of a heterodimer, covalently bound through di-sulfide bonds to one of several possible light chains. The encoded transporter plays a role in regulation of intracellular calcium levels and transports L-type amino acids. Alternatively spliced transcript variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q12.3
Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 3 member 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
