Name | SLC7A2 (HGNC:11060) |
---|---|
Function | Functions as a permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and L- homoarginine); the affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing (PubMed:28684763, PubMed:9174363). May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed at high levels in the skeletal muscle, placenta and ovary. Expressed at intermediate levels in the liver and pancreas and at low levels in the kidney and heart |

Background
Low-affinity, high capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine). Plays a regulatory role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages (By similarity).
