{"symbol":"SLC43A2","synonyms":["LAT4"],"name":"solute carrier family 43 (amino acid system L transporter), member 2","description":"This gene encodes a member of the L-amino acid transporter-3 or SLC43 family of transporters. The encoded protein mediates sodium-, chloride-, and pH-independent transport of L-isomers of neutral amino acids, including leucine, phenylalanine, valine and methionine. This protein may contribute to the transfer of amino acids across the placental membrane to the fetus.
