Summary
Enables L-leucine transmembrane transporter activity and L-phenylalanine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-leucine transport and phenylalanine transport. Acts upstream of or within L-amino acid transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; metanephros; nephric duct of male; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC43A2 (solute carrier family 43 member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
