Solute carrier family 7 member 8 (SLC7A8), also known as L-amino acid transporter-2 (LAT-2), is part of the amino acid transporters family. It is a subunit of the heavy chain of the surface antigen 4F2 (4F2hc). The protein is expressed in the placenta and fetal capillaries. The SLC7A8 gene is localized on human chromosome 14q11.2.
Immunogen
SLC7A8 (NP_036376.2, 467 a.a. ~ 535 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Solute carrier family 7 member 8 (SLC7A8) is involved in amino acid transport.It has a role in absorption of neutral amino acids in the kidney. Mutations in the gene encoding this protein have been linked to lysinuric protein intolerance.
