About SLC7A8

Cytogenetic location: 14q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 14:23,125,295-23,183,660 (from NCBI)

This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 258 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 77.2), prostate (RPKM 18.0) and 18 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including neutral amino acid transmembrane transporter activity; thyroid hormone transmembrane transporter activity; and toxin transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-alanine import across plasma membrane; L-leucine import across plasma membrane; and thyroid hormone transport. Located in plasma membrane. Part of basolateral plasma membrane and microvillus membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
