    Summary
    Enables L-arginine transmembrane transporter activity and neutral L-amino acid:sodium symporter activity. Involved in L-alanine import across plasma membrane and L-arginine transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in microvillus membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; gut; and liver. Orthologous to human SLC38A4 (solute carrier family 38 member 4).

    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.
