Gene nameSLC38A8
Protein nameSolute carrier family 38 member 8 (Amino acid transporter SLC38A8)
Solute carrier family 38 member 8
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Electrogenic sodium-dependent amino acid transporter with a preference for L-glutamine, L-alanine, L-histidine, L-aspartate and L-arginine. May facilitate glutamine uptake in both excitatory and inhibitory neurons. The transport mechanism and stoichiometry remain to be elucidated. .
