Background
Transporter that mediates epithelial resorption of neutral amino acids across the apical membrane of epithelial cells in the kidney and intestine. It appears that leucine is the preferred substrate, but all large neutral non-aromatic L-amino acids bind to this transporter. Uptake of leucine is sodium- dependent. In contrast to other members of the neurotransmitter transporter family, does not appear to be chloride-dependent (By similarity).
