背景
L-amino acid transporter protein-2 (LAT2), a non-glycosylated membrane protein, complexes with CD98 to contribute to readsorption of neutral amino acids in renal epithelia and blood-tissue barriers. The gene encoding LAT2 is expressed primarily in the kidney, but also to a lesser extent in placenta, brain, liver, spleen, skeletal muscle, heart, small intestine, and lung. Transfection with the antisense sequence of LAT2 suggests that LAT2 expression plays a major role in net basolateral efflux of cysteine, and points to LAT2 as a candidate gene to modulate cysteine reabsorption.
