Function | Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood- brain barrier and in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10930503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15922329}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561425, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16616430}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561425, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16616430}. Note=Insulin promotes recruitment to the plasma membrane from a pool localized in the trans-Golgi network or endosomes (By similarity). Enriched in the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, it is also detected at the axonal shaft but excluded from the nerve terminal. {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitously expressed. Widely expressed in the central nervous system with higher concentrations in caudal regions. Expressed by glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons together with astrocytes and other non-neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10930503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561425, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16616430}. |
