High impact information on SLC7A13

  • The cysteine residue responsible for the disulfide bond formation between transporters (light chains) and heavy chain subunits of the heterodimeric amino acid transporter family is conserved for AGT1 [1].
  • This could be related to the fact that mXAT1 and hXAT2 did not form detectable disulphide-linked heterodimers with 4F2hc or rBAT when they were co-expressed in CHO cells [2].
  • The hXAT2 gene is located on chromosome 8q21 [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SLC7A13

  • We report the molecular cloning and tissue expression of new mouse and human homologues of the LAT family, termed mXAT1, mXAT2 and hXAT2 [2].
