AAAT_HUMAN (UniProt)

Gene names: SLC1A5, ASCT2, M7V1, RDR, RDRC
Protein names and data: AAAT_HUMAN, Full=Neutral amino acid transporter B(0);Short=ATB(0), Full=Baboon M7 virus receptor;Full=RD114/simian type D retrovirus receptor;Full=Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter type 2;Full=Solute carrier family 1 member 5; Length: 541 a.a., Mass: 56598 Da,
fasta formatted sequence

Function: Has a broad substrate specificity, a preference for zwitterionic amino acids, and a sodium-dependence. It accepts as substrates all neutral amino acids, including glutamine, asparagine, and branched-chain and aromatic amino acids, and excludes methylated amino acids, anionic amino acids, and cationic amino acids. Acts as a cell surface receptor for feline endogenous virus RD114, baboon M7 endogenous virus and type D simian retroviruses
Cellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Probable). Melanosome. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV
Tissue specificity: Placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, and intestine
