Function | Symporter that cotransports short-chain neutral amino acids and sodium ions from the extraccellular to the intracellular side of the cell membrane (PubMed:20599747, PubMed:10891391). The transport is elctrogenic, pH dependent and driven by the Na(+) electrochemical gradient (PubMed:10891391). Participates in the astroglia-derived glutamine transport into GABAergic interneurons for neurotransmitter GABA de novo synthesis (By similarity). May also contributes to amino acid transport in placental trophoblasts (PubMed:20599747). Also regulates synaptic plasticity (PubMed:12388062). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM15} Note=Restricted to the somatodendritic compartment of neurons. Found in the cellular processes of neurons in the developing brain {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM15} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the cerebral cortex by pyramidal and GABAergic neurons, astrocytes and other non-neuronal cells (at protein level). Expressed in placenta, heart, lung, skeletal muscle, spleen, stomach and testis (PubMed:10891391, PubMed:12388062, PubMed:15054072, PubMed:16148032). Highly expressed in cytotrophoblast cells from term placenta (PubMed:20599747). |

Background
Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of glutamine and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May also transport small zwitterionic and aliphatic amino acids with a lower affinity. May supply glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons with glutamine which is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA.
