Entry terms

  • ATRC2 Transporter
  • CAT 2 Gene Product
  • CAT-2 Gene Product
  • CAT 2 Transporter
  • CAT-2 Transporter
  • CAT 2 Transport Protein
  • CAT-2 Transport Protein
  • SLC7A2 Protein
  • Solute-Carrier Family 7 (Cationic Amino Acid Transporter, y+ System), Member 2
  • Transporter, CAT-2
  • Transport Protein, CAT-2

Scope note

  • A high-affinity, low capacity system y+ amino acid transporter with strong similarity to CATIONIC AMINO ACID TRANSPORTER 1. The two isoforms of the protein, CAT-2A and CAT-2B, exist due to alternative mRNA splicing. The transporter has specificity for the transport of ARGININE; LYSINE; and ORNITHINE.

History note

  • 2002; for CAT2 GENE PRODUCT use BASIC AMINO ACID TRANSPORT SYSTEMS (NM) 1996-2001
