Solute Carrier Family 38 Member 2; System A Amino Acid Transporter 2; System N Amino Acid Transporter 2; Amino Acid Transporter A2; System A Transporter 1; Protein 40-9-1; SNAT2; ATA2;

Symporter that cotransports neutral amino acids and sodium ions from the extraccellular to the intracellular side of the cell membrane (PubMed:10930503, PubMed:15922329, PubMed:16621798, PubMed:15774260).
The trasnport is pH-sensitive, Li+-intolerant, electrogenic, driven by the Na+ electrochemical gradient and cotransports of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood-brain barrier (PubMed:10930503, PubMed:15774260).
May function in the transport of amino acids in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta (By similarity).
Maintains a key metabolic glutamine/glutamate balance underpinning retrograde signaling by dendritic release of the neurotransmitter glutamate (By similarity).
Transports L-proline in differentiating osteoblasts for the efficient synthesis of proline-enriched proteins and provides proline essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation during bone development (By similarity).

Cell membrane
Insulin promotes recruitment to the plasma membrane from a pool localized in the trans-Golgi network or endosomes. Enriched in the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, it is also detected at the axonal shaft but excluded from the nerve terminal.

Polyubiquitination by NEDD4L regulates the degradation and the activity of SLC38A2.
