Anti-SNAT2

enzyme regulation:Inhibited by N-methyl-D-glucamine and probably choline.,function:Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood-brain barrier and in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta.,induction:Up-regulated upon hypertonic conditions and amino acid deprivation.,miscellaneous:Depletion of SCL38A2 by siRNA prevents the recovery of cells from hypertonic stress.,PTM:Polyubiquitination by NEDD4L regulates the degradation and the activity of SLC38A2.,similarity:Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.,subcellular location:Insulin promotes recruitment to the plasma membrane from a pool localized in the trans-Golgi network or endosomes (By similarity). Enriched in the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, it is also detected at the axonal shaft but excluded from the nerve terminal.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed. Widely expressed in the central nervous system with higher concentrations in caudal regions. Expressed by glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons together with astrocytes and other non-neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex (at protein level)., Protein function: Symporter that cotransports neutral amino acids and sodium ions from the extraccellular to the intracellular side of the cell membrane (PubMed:10930503, PubMed:15922329, PubMed:16621798, PubMed:15774260). The trasnport is pH-sensitive, Li(+)-intolerant, electrogenic, driven by the Na(+) electrochemical gradient and cotransports of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood-brain barrier (PubMed:10930503, PubMed:15774260). May function in the transport of amino acids in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta. Maintains a key metabolic glutamine/glutamate balance underpinning retrograde signaling by dendritic release of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Transports L-proline in differentiating osteoblasts for the efficient synthesis of proline-enriched proteins and provides proline essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation during bone development. [The UniProt Consortium] Recommended dilutions: WB 1:500-2000,IHC-p 1:50-300, ELISA 2000-20000. Cellular localization: Cell membrane , Multi-pass membrane protein . Insulin promotes recruitment to the plasma membrane from a pool localized in the trans-Golgi network or endosomes (By similarity). Enriched in the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, it is also detected at the axonal shaft but excluded from the nerve terminal. .
