SLC43A1

Protein name: LAT3 Aliases: POV1 Substrates: L-BCAAs, amino alcohols Transport type: Facilitated transporter Tissue and cellular expression: liver, skeletal muscle, placenta, kidney podocytes Subcellular expression: N/D Disease: expression in androgen-dependent cancers Locus: 11q12.1 Sequence ID: NP_001185739.1, NM_001198810.1 NP_003618.1, NM_003627.5 Gene ID: 8501 Splice variants: two 5?

LAT3_HUMAN (UniProt)

Gene names: SLC43A1, LAT3, PB39, POV1
Protein names and data: LAT3_HUMAN, Full=Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 3, Full=L-type amino acid transporter 3;Full=Prostate cancer overexpressed gene 1 protein;Full=Solute carrier family 43 member 1; Length: 559 a.a., Mass: 61477 Da,
fasta formatted sequence
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
Cellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Probable)
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
