Proton-coupled amino acid transporter 2


Proton-coupled amino acid transporter 2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC36A2 gene.

Function

SLC36A2 transports small amino acids and also the D-enantiomers and select amino acid derivatives, such as gamma-aminobutyric acid.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the SLC36A2 gene are associated with Iminoglycinuria.
