Entrez ID 9056
Gene name Solute carrier family 7 member 7
Gene symbol SLC7A7
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
LAT3LPIMOP-2Y+LAT1y+LAT-1
Chromosome 14
Chromosome location 14q11.2
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is the light subunit of a cationic amino acid transporter. This sodium-independent transporter is formed when the light subunit encoded by this gene dimerizes with the heavy subunit transporter protein SLC3A2. This transpo
