Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 55089
Gene name Solute carrier family 38 member 4
Gene symbol SLC38A4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ATA3NAT3PAATSNAT4
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q13.11
Summary SLC38A4 is found predominantly in liver and transports both cationic and neutral amino acids. The transport of cationic amino acids by SLC38A4 is Na(+) and pH independent, while the transport of neutral amino acids is Na(+) and pH dependent (Hatanaka et a
