| Function |
Sodium-independent, high affinity transport of large neutral amino acids. Has narrower substrate selectivity compared to SLC7A5 and SLC7A8 and mainly transports branched-chain amino acids and phenylalanine. Plays a role in the development of human prostate cancer, from prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia to invasive prostate cancer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11956097, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12930836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9255310, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9722952}.

| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
In adults, found in all tissues examined with highest expression in pancreas. In fetus, highest expression in liver and lower levels in kidney, and lung. High levels found in prostate cancer cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11956097, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12930836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9255310, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9722952}.
