Function | Cystine/H(+) symporter that mediates export of cystine, the oxidized dimer of cysteine, from lysosomes (PubMed:11689434, PubMed:15128704, PubMed:18337546, PubMed:22232659, PubMed:29467429, PubMed:33208952, PubMed:36113465). Plays an important role in melanin synthesis by catalyzing cystine export from melanosomes, possibly by inhibiting pheomelanin synthesis (PubMed:22649030). In addition to cystine export, also acts as a positive regulator of mTORC1 signaling in kidney proximal tubular cells, via interactions with components of the v-ATPase and Ragulator complexes (PubMed:36113465). Also involved in small GTPase-regulated vesicle trafficking and lysosomal localization of LAMP2A, independently of cystine transporter activity (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Lysosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Melanosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=AP-3 complex is required for localization to the lysosome. |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in pancreas, kidney (adult and fetal), skeletal muscle, melanocytes and keratinocytes (PubMed:22649030). Expressed at lower levels in placenta and heart Weakly expressed in lung, liver and brain (adult and fetal) (PubMed:22649030). |
