Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 6 protein family which transports neutral amino acids. The encoded protein is thought to play a role in neuronal amino acid transport (PMID: 16185194) and may be associated with major depression (PMI

Protein
UniProt ID Q9H2J7
Protein name Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT2 (Sodium- and chloride-dependent neurotransmitter transporter NTT73) (Sodium-coupled branched-chain amino-acid transporter 1) (Solute carrier family 6 member 15) (Transporter v7-3)
Protein function Functions as a sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter. Exhibits preference for the branched-chain amino acids, particularly leucine, valine and isoleucine and methionine. Can also transport low-affinity substrates such as alanine, pheny
