SLC36A4

SLC36A4 belongs to the SLC36 family of amino acid transporters based on sequence similarity with other family members. SLC36 proteins contain about 500 amino acids and have 9 to 11 transmembrane domains. Unlike other SLC36 family members, which are proton-coupled amino acid transporters, SLC36A4 is a high-affinity/low-capacity non-proton-coupled amino acid transporter.

Solute Carrier Family 36 Member 4

Functions as a sodium-independent electroneutral transporter for tryptophan, proline and alanine. Inhibited by sarcosine.
