CD98 is a glycoprotein[1][1] which comprises the light subunit of the Large neutral Amino acid Transporter (LAT1). LAT1 is a heterodimeric membrane transport protein which preferentially transports neutral branched (valine, leucine, isoleucine) and aromatic (tryptophan, tyrosine) amino acids.[1] LAT is highly expressed in brain capillaries (which form the blood brain barrier) relative to other tissues.[1]

Functional LAT1 transporters are comprised of two proteins encoded by two distinct genes:

  • 4F2hc heavy subunit protein encoded by the SLC3A2 gene [1]
  • CD98 light subunit protein encoded by the SLC7A5 gene[1]
