Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 7. The encoded protein is a sodium-independent cationic amino acid transporter. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcripts that encoded the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010].
UniProt Summary: Mediates the uptake of the cationic amino acids arginine, lysine and ornithine in a sodium-independent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11591158}.
