NCIt synonyms : Upregulated In Lung Cancer 11; Solute Carrier Family 38 Member 9; SLC38A9; Up-Regulated In Lung Cancer 11;
NCIt definition : Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 9 (561 aa, 64 kDa) is encoded by the
human SLC38A9 gene. This protein is involved in amino acid sensing, amino acid transport
and activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1).;
NCIt note : Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 9 (SLC38A9) has 11 transmembrane domains
and lacks an asparagine in transmembrane domain-1, which is conserved in all other
SLC38 family members. (OMIM);
