== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. 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}.
