| Function |
Involved in the high-affinity, sodium-independent transport of cystine and neutral and dibasic amino acids (system B(0,+)-like activity). May function as an activator of SLC7A9 and be involved in the high-affinity reabsorption of cystine in the kidney tubule. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11318953, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7686906, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8486766, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8663184}.

| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167606}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167606}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in the brush border membrane in the kidney (at protein level). Predominantly expressed in the kidney, small intestine and pancreas. Weakly expressed in liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167606, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7686906, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8486766}.
