SLC38A1 Lysates

Amino acid transporters play essential roles in the uptake of nutrients, production of energy, chemical metabolism,detoxification, and neurotransmitter cycling. SLC38A1 is an important transporter of glutamine, an intermediate in thedetoxification of ammonia and the production of urea. Glutamine serves as a precursor for the synaptic transmitter,glutamate (Gu et al., 2001 (PubMed 11325958)).(supplied by OMIM)
