Function

Function:
Functions as a sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter. Exhibits preference for the branched-chain amino acids, particularly leucine, valine and isoleucine and methionine. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of proline and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May have a role as transporter for neurotransmitter precursors into neurons. In contrast to other members of the neurotransmitter transporter family, does not appear to be chloride-dependent.
Kinetics:
BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.16 mM for L-leucine (at pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCL, -70 mV)
