Requires coexpression with SLC3A2/4F2hc to mediate the uptake of arginine, leucine and glutamine. Also acts as an arginine/glutamine exchanger, following an antiport mechanism for amino acid transport, influencing arginine release in exchange for extracellular amino acids. Plays a role in nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via transport of L-arginine. Involved in the transport of L-arginine in monocytes. Reduces uptake of ornithine in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10903140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11311135, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14603368, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15280038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16785209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17197568, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17329401, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9829974}. |AA permease| |L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity| |antiporter activity| |amino acid transmembrane transporter activity| |L-alpha-amino acid transmembrane transport| |L-amino acid transport| |amino acid transmembrane transport| |amino acid transport| |carboxylic acid transmembrane transport| |organic acid transmembrane transport| |basolateral plasma membrane| |anion transmembrane transport| |carboxylic acid transport| |organic acid transport| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |leukocyte migration| |organic anion transport| |anion transport| |intracellular membrane-bounded organelle| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |ion transmembrane transport| |cell migration| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |cell motility| |localization of cell| |transmembrane transport| |locomotion| |ion transport| |integral component of plasma membrane| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |protein-containing complex assembly| |small molecule metabolic process| |nitrogen compound transport| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp452|Azithromycin 100μM R08 exp452]]|-5.33| |[[:results:exp142|OICR-9429 10μM R03 exp142]]|-3.31| |[[:results:exp433|LJH685 50μM R08 exp433]]|-3.29| |[[:results:exp470|Chloroquine 32μM R08 exp470]]|-3.06| |[[:results:exp146|Quinacrine 2.5μM R03 exp146]]|-2.33| |[[:results:exp344|Chlorpromazine 10μM R07 exp344]]|-1.83| |[[:results:exp295|Pyronaridine 1μM R06 exp295]]|-1.81| |[[:results:exp155|UNC1999 2μM R03 exp155]]|1.85| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
