Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport 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 and in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10930503, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15922329}. |Aa trans| |glycine betaine transport| |glutamine transport| |L-glutamine transmembrane transporter activity| |amino-acid betaine transport| |alanine transport| |quaternary ammonium group transport| |modified amino acid transport| |glutamate secretion| |organic cation transport| |amino acid transmembrane transporter activity| |neutral amino acid transport| |symporter activity| |cellular response to amino acid starvation| |response to amino acid starvation| |acidic amino acid transport| |brush border| |ammonium transport| |amino acid transmembrane transport| |dicarboxylic acid transport| |cellular response to mechanical stimulus| |acid secretion| |sarcolemma| |cerebral cortex development| |amino acid transport| |carboxylic acid transmembrane transport| |organic acid transmembrane transport| |cellular response to starvation| |sodium ion transport| |pallium development| |female pregnancy| |response to starvation| |multi-multicellular organism process| |response to mechanical stimulus| |cellular response to nutrient levels| |telencephalon development| |cellular response to extracellular stimulus| |anion transmembrane transport| |organic acid transport| |carboxylic acid transport| |axon| |cellular response to environmental stimulus| |cellular response to abiotic stimulus| |cellular response to external stimulus| |neuronal cell body| |forebrain development| |monovalent inorganic cation transport| |dendrite| |organic anion transport| |response to nutrient levels| |response to extracellular stimulus| |anion transport| |metal ion transport| |brain development| |head development| |cation transport| |ion transmembrane transport| |central nervous system development| |multi-organism reproductive process| |secretion by cell| |export from cell| |secretion| |response to abiotic stimulus| |transmembrane transport| |ion transport| |integral component of plasma membrane| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |cellular response to stress| |nitrogen compound transport| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp529|Thimerosal 0.85μM R08 exp529]]|-1.83| |[[:results:exp409|THZ531 0.11μM R07 exp409]]|-1.72| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:c:cul4a|CUL4A]]|0.423| |[[:human genes:u:ube2g1|UBE2G1]]|0.411| |[[:human genes:s:slc38a1|SLC38A1]]|0.403| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 8/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|1/28| |blood|1/28| |bone|1/26| |breast|1/33| |central nervous system|1/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|1/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|1/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|1/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 3553 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 8.65 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
