Gene ID6542
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Namesolute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 2
Gene Symbol SLC7A2
SynonymsCAT2; ATRC2; HCAT2;
Alternate namescationic amino acid transporter 2; low affinity cationic amino acid transporter 2;

Map Location8p22
SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a cationic amino acid transporter and a member of the APC (amino acid-polyamine-organocation) family of transporters. The encoded membrane protein is responsible for the cellular uptake of arginine, lysine and ornithine. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
