About This Section

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LAT2_HUMAN, Q9UHI5
Function: Sodium-independent, high-affinity transport of small and large neutral amino acids such as alanine, serine,
threonine, cysteine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, arginine and tryptophan, when associated with SLC3A2/4F2hc.
Acts as an amino acid exchanger. Has higher affinity for L-phenylalanine than LAT1 but lower affinity for glutamine
and serine. L-alanine is transported at physiological concentrations. Plays a role in basolateral (re)absorption of
neutral amino acids. Involved in the uptake of methylmercury (MeHg) when administered as the L-cysteine or
D,L-homocysteine complexes, and hence plays a role in metal ion homeostasis and toxicity. Involved in the cellular
activity of small molecular weight nitrosothiols, via the stereoselective transport of L-nitrosocysteine (L-CNSO)
across the transmembrane. Plays an essential role in the reabsorption of neutral amino acids from the epithelial cells
to the bloodstream in the kidney

About This Section

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LAT2_HUMAN, Q9UHI5 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 2  
Size: 535 amino acids; 58382 Da
Subunit: Disulfide-linked heterodimer with the amino acid transport protein SLC3A2/4F2hc
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Basolateral cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localized to the
cytoplasm when expressed alone but when coexpressed with SLC3A2/4F2hc, is localized to the plasma membrane.
Colocalized with SLC3A2/4F2hc at the basolateral membrane of kidney cortex proximal tubules and small intestine
epithelia of the villi
Miscellaneous: L-leucine transport activity inhibited by small zwitterionic amino acids (i.e. glycine, alanine, serine,
threonine asparginine, glutamine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan,
histidine and cysteine) and by glutamine and asparginine. Methionine uptake was inhibited by the L-system substrates
L-leucine, 2-amino-bicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylate (BCH), L-cysteine and by the MeHg-L-cysteine complex and
structurally related S-ethyl-L-cysteine. MeHg-L-cysteine uptake is inhibited by L-methionine, L-leucine, BCH and
S-ethyl-L-cysteine. L-leucine uptake was inhibited by L-CNSO
