Preferred Label : cationic amino acid transporter 2;
MeSH definition : 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.;
