SLC7A6

Entrez Summary: N/A
UniProt Summary: Involved in the sodium-independent uptake of dibasic amino acids and sodium-dependent uptake of some neutral amino acids. 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}.
