Disease relevance of FLJ10815

Amino acid transporter B(0)/ASC transporter 2 (ATB(0)/ASCT2) is responsible for most glutamine uptake in human hepatoma cells [1].

High impact information on FLJ10815

Arginine Transport via Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2 Plays a Critical Regulatory Role in Classical or Alternative Activation of Macrophages [2].
Amino acid transporter B(0,+) was identified by RT-PCR and its identity confirmed by subcloning and sequencing in rabbit cornea, rabbit corneal epithelium, and human cornea [3].
