Neutral amino acid transporter A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC1A4 gene.[5][6][7] In humans, it is expressed in the brain, lung, skeletal muscle, intestine and kidney.[8]

Function

[edit]

The transporter is responsible for transport of L-serine, D-serine, L-alanine, L-cysteine, and L-threonine.

Pathology

[edit]

Mutations of the gene cause a disease called spastic tetraplegia, thin corpus callosum, and progressive microcephaly (SPATCCM). This disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.

Interactions

[edit]

In melanocytic cells SLC1A4 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[9]
