{"symbol":"SLC7A8","synonyms":["LAT2","LPI-PC1"],"name":"solute carrier family 7 (amino acid transporter light chain, L system), member 8","description":"Enables several functions, including neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity; protein heterodimerization activity; and secondary active transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-alanine import across plasma membrane; L-leucine import across plasma membrane; and thyroid hormone transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane and microvillus membrane.
