{"symbol":"SLC38A5","synonyms":["PP7194","SN2","SNAT5","JM24"],"name":"solute carrier family 38, member 5","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a system N sodium-coupled amino acid transporter. The encoded protein transports glutamine, asparagine, histidine, serine, alanine, and glycine across the cell membrane, but does not transport charged amino acids, imino acids, or N-alkylated amino acids. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
