Function
Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of glutamine and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May also transport small zwitterionic and aliphatic amino acids with a lower affinity. May supply glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons with glutamine which is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA.
KEGG Pathway
Glutamatergic synapse (hsa04724 )
GABAergic synapse (hsa04727 )
Reactome Pathway
Amino acid transport across the plasma membrane (R-HSA-352230 )
Astrocytic Glutamate-Glutamine Uptake And Metabolism (R-HSA-210455 )
