SLC7A3 - solute carrier family 7 member 3 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as CAT3; ATRC3; CAT-3

Gene ID: 84889 | Gene type: protein coding

About SLC7A3

Cytogenetic location: Xq13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:70,925,579-70,931,096 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 343 orthologues and 12 paralogues. Biased expression in endometrium (RPKM 1.9), prostate (RPKM 1.2) and 8 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the solute carrier family 7. The encoded protein is a sodium-independent cationic amino acid transporter. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcripts that encoded the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
