Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | YLAT2 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | SLC7A6 (HGNC:11064) |

Function | Heterodimer with SLC3A2, that functions as an antiporter which operates as an efflux route by exporting cationic amino acids such as L-arginine from inside the cells in exchange with neutral amino acids like L-leucine, L-glutamine and isoleucine, plus sodium ions and may participate in nitric oxide synthesis (PubMed:9829974, PubMed:10903140, PubMed:16785209, PubMed:31705628, PubMed:15756301, PubMed:11311135, PubMed:17329401, PubMed:14603368, PubMed:19562367). Also exchanges L-arginine with L-lysine in a sodium-independent manner (PubMed:10903140). The transport mechanism is electroneutral and operates with a stoichiometry of 1:1 (PubMed:10903140). Contributes to ammonia-induced increase of L-arginine uptake in cerebral cortical astrocytes leading to ammonia-dependent increase of nitric oxide (NO) production via inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) induction, and protein nitration (By similarity). May mediate transport of ornithine in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells (PubMed:17197568). May also transport glycine betaine in a sodium dependent manner from the cumulus granulosa into the enclosed oocyte (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in normal fibroblasts and those from LPI patients (PubMed:11078698). Also expressed in HUVECs, monocytes, RPE cells, and various carcinoma cell lines (PubMed:11742806, PubMed:14603368, PubMed:15280038, PubMed:17197568, PubMed:17329401) Expressed in brain, heart, testis, kidney, small intestine and parotis (PubMed:10903140). Highly expressed in T lymphocytes (PubMed:31705628) |

Background
This protein involved in the sodium-independent uptake of dibasic amino acids and sodium-dependent uptake of some neutral amino acids. It requires co-expression with SLC3A2/4F2hc to mediate the uptake of arginine, leucine and glutamine. It also acts as an arginine/glutamine exchanger, following an antiport mechanism for amino acid transport, influencing arginine release in exchange for extracellular amino acids. It plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via transport of L-arginine. It involved in the transport of L-arginine in monocytes and reduces uptake of ornithine in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.
