DescriptionAnti-Neutral amino acid transporter (ASCT2) Antibody
Alternate Names
  • Neutral amino acid transporter B(0)
  • Baboon M7 virus receptor
  • RD114/simian type D retrovirus receptor
  • Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter type 2
  • Solute carrier family 1 member 5
Background InformationNeutral amino acid transporter, also known as ASCT2, is an alternate of the ASC (alanine-, serine-, cysteine-) transport system and is highly expressed in rat astroglia-rich cultures while not highly expressed in rat neuron-rich cultures. ASCT2 is also thought to be important in the glutamine release from cells. ASCT2 has been implicated in the growth and survival of cancer cells, therefore making it a possible target for cancer therapy. ASCT2 is thought to be a crucial neuronal neutral amino acid transporter.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: Has a broad substrate specificity, a preference for zwitterionic amino acids, and a sodium-dependence. It accepts as substrates all neutral amino acids, including glutamine, asparagine, and branched-chain and aromatic amino acids, and excludes methylated amino acids, anionic amino acids, and cationic amino acids. Act as a cell surface receptor for feline endogenous virus RD114, baboon M7 endogenous virus and type D simian retroviruses. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (Probable). Melanosome. Note: Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, and intestine.

SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the sodium:dicarboxylate (SDF) symporter (TC 2.A.23) family. SLC1A5 subfamily.
Molecular Weight~ 57 kDa observed
