| Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 215113 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables L-leucine transmembrane transporter activity and L-phenylalanine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in leucine transport and phenylalanine transport. Acts upstream of or within L-amino acid transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; metanephros; nephric duct of male; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC43A2 (solute carrier family 43 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display fetal growth retardation, abnormal placental amino acid transport, slow postnatal weight gain, malnutrition and postnatal lethality, likely as a result of impaired intestinal amino acid absorption.
