Amino acid transporter

An amino acid transporter is a membrane transport protein that transports amino acids. They are mainly of the solute carrier family.

Solute carrier family examples

 * (1) high affinity glutamate and neutral amino acid transporter
 * (3) heavy subunits of heteromeric amino acid transporters
 * (7) cationic amino acid transporter/glycoprotein-associated
 * (15) proton oligopeptide cotransporter
 * (17) vesicular glutamate transporter
 * (18) vesicular amine transporter
 * (25) some mitochondrial carriers
 * (26) multifunctional anion exchanger
 * (32) vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter
 * (36) proton-coupled amino acid transporter
 * (38) System A & N, sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter
