Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 7. The encoded protein is a sodium-independent cationic amino acid transporter. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcripts that encoded the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
SNPs SNP information provided by dbSNP.

Protein name Cationic amino acid transporter 3 (CAT-3) (CAT3) (Cationic amino acid transporter y+) (Solute carrier family 7 member 3)
Protein function Uniporter that mediates the uptake of cationic L-amino acids such as L-arginine, L-lysine and L-ornithine (PubMed:11591158). The transport is sodium ions- and pH-independent, moderately trans-stimulated and is mediated by passive diffusion (PubM
