Proton-coupled amino acid transporter 1

Proton-coupled amino acid transporter 1

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Proton-coupled amino acid transporter 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC36A1 gene.[5][6][7]

Quick Facts SLC36A1, Identifiers ...

This gene encodes a member of the eukaryote-specific amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) 1 transporter family. The encoded protein functions as a proton-dependent, small amino acid transporter. This gene is clustered with related family members on chromosome 5q33.1.[7]
