Precautions | SLC7A2 Antibody (C-Terminus) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | SLC7A2 (HGNC:11060) |
---|---|
Function | Functions as a permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (L-arginine, L-lysine, L-ornithine and L- homoarginine); the affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing (PubMed:9174363, PubMed:28684763). May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed at high levels in the skeletal muscle, placenta and ovary. Expressed at intermediate levels in the liver and pancreas and at low levels in the kidney and heart |
Volume | 50 µl |

Background
Functions as permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine); the affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 functions as permease that mediates the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine), and it has much higher affinity for arginine than isoform 2. Isoform 2 functions as low-affinity, high capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) (PubMed:9174363). May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport.
