MeSH Heading: Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2
Tree Number(s): D12.776.157.530.200.374.600.300; D12.776.157.530.937.375.300; D12.776.543.585.200.374.600.300; D12.776.543.585.937.375.300
Unique ID: D027202
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D027202
Scope Note: 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.
