Background

enzyme regulation:Inhibited by N-methyl-D-glucamine and probably choline.,function:Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood-brain barrier and in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta.,induction:Up-regulated upon hypertonic conditions and amino acid deprivation.,miscellaneous:Depletion of SCL38A2 by siRNA prevents the recovery of cells from hypertonic stress.,PTM:Polyubiquitination by NEDD4L regulates the degradation and the activity of SLC38A2.,similarity:Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.,subcellular location:Insulin promotes recruitment to the plasma membrane from a pool localized in the trans-Golgi network or endosomes (By similarity). Enriched in the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, it is also detected at the axonal shaft but excluded from the nerve terminal.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed. Widely expressed in the central nervous system with higher concentrations in caudal regions. Expressed by glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons together with astrocytes and other non-neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex (at protein level).,enzyme regulation:Inhibited by N-methyl-D-glucamine and probably choline.,function:Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter.
