NCIt definition : Neutral amino acid transporter B(0) (541 aa, 57 kDa) is encoded by the human SLC1A5
gene. This protein is involved in neutral amino acid transport and as a receptor for
select retroviruses.;
NCIt note : Viral ligands for neutral amino acid transporter B(0) include feline endogenous virus
RD114, baboon M7 endogenous virus and type D simian retroviruses. (UniProt);
