Solute carrier family 38 member 4, sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 4, SNAT4, protein associated with ABC transporters, PAAT, ATA3, NAT3
Product description
SLC38A4 is found predominantly in liver and transports both cationic and neutral amino acids (1,2). The transport of cationic amino acids by SLC38A4 is sodium and pH independent, while the transport of neutral amino acids is sodium and pH dependent (2). Recent evidence suggests that SLC38A4 functions as a regulator of protein synthesis downstream of the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4a during liver development (3). It has also been suggested that SLC38A4 has ATPase activity and is critically involved in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis and cell survival (4).1) Sugawara M, Nakanishi T, Fei YJ, et al.
