The encoded membrane protein is responsible for the cellular uptake of arginine, lysine and ornithine. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]. * **<color #00a2e8>UniProt Summary</color>**: Functions as permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine); the affinity for its substrates differs between isoforms created by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 functions as permease that mediates the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine), and it has much higher affinity for arginine than isoform 2. Isoform 2 functions as low-affinity, high capacity permease involved in the transport of the cationic amino acids (arginine, lysine and ornithine) (PubMed:9174363). May play a role in classical or alternative activation of macrophages via its role in arginine transport. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P18581, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9174363}. <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='Pfam_Domains'>Pfam Domains</button> <button type='primary' size='sm' modal='GO_terms'>GO Terms</button> <modal id='Pfam_Domains' size='lg' title='Pfam Domains'> |AA permease| </modal> <modal id='GO_terms' size='lg' title='GO Terms'> |nitric oxide production involved in inflammatory response| |L-arginine transmembrane transporter activity| |L-arginine import across plasma membrane| |L-lysine transmembrane transporter activity| |arginine transmembrane transporter activity| |L-ornithine transmembrane transporter activity| |L-arginine transmembrane transport| |L-lysine transmembrane transport| |L-lysine transport| |arginine transmembrane transport| |L-ornithine transmembrane transport| |L-arginine transport| |basic amino acid transmembrane transporter activity| |ornithine transport| |arginine transport| |basic amino acid transmembrane transport| |nitric oxide biosynthetic process| |basic amino acid transport| |amino acid import across plasma membrane| |production of molecular mediator involved in inflammatory response| |nitric oxide metabolic process| |reactive nitrogen species metabolic process| |amino acid import| |reactive oxygen species biosynthetic process| |amino acid transmembrane transporter activity| |neurotransmitter biosynthetic process| |L-alpha-amino acid transmembrane transport| |macrophage activation| |regulation of macrophage activation| |L-amino acid transport| |drug transmembrane transport| |amino acid transmembrane transport| |neurotransmitter metabolic process| |import across plasma membrane| |reactive oxygen species metabolic process| |amino acid transport| |organic acid transmembrane transport| |carboxylic acid transmembrane transport| |drug transport| |anion transmembrane transport| |carboxylic acid transport| |organic acid transport| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |regulation of inflammatory response| |regulation of neurotransmitter levels| |organic anion transport| |inflammatory response| |drug metabolic process| |cell junction| |anion transport| |myeloid leukocyte activation| |regulation of leukocyte activation| |cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of cell activation| |import into cell| |regulation of defense response| |cation transport| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |leukocyte activation| |ion transmembrane transport| |oxoacid metabolic process| |response to drug| |organic acid metabolic process| |cell activation| |regulation of response to external stimulus| |transmembrane transport| |defense response| |ion transport| |integral component of plasma membrane| |regulation of response to stress| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |regulation of immune system process| |small molecule metabolic process| |nitrogen compound transport| |membrane| </modal> \\ === CRISPR Data === <button type='default' size='small' modal='Compound_Hit'>Compound Hit</button> <button type='default' size='small' modal='Most_Correlated_Genes'>Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics</button> <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Essential_Avana'>Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)</button> <modal id='Compound_Hit' size='lg' title='Compound Hit'> No hits were found. </modal> <modal id='Most_Correlated_Genes' size='lg' title='Most Correlated Genes in Chemogenomics'> No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics. </modal> <modal id='Essential_Avana' size='lg' title='Tissues where Essential in the Avana Dataset (DepMap 20Q1)'> Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|0/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|0/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| </modal> == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **<color #00a2e8>Essentiality Rank</color>**: 15466 * **<color #00a2e8>Expression level (log2 read counts)</color>**: 0.84 <button type='primary' size='small' modal='Dist_expr'>Expression Distribution</button> <modal id='Dist_expr' size='lg' title='SLC7A2 Expression in NALM6 Cells: 0.84'> {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}} </modal> Last modified: 2026/01/07 22:37by 127.0.0.1
