It functions as a heavy chain subunit with a molecular mass of approximately 68 kDa. SLC3A1 is highly expressed in the kidney particularly within the proximal tubules and is also present in other tissues like the intestine. It partners with a light chain subunit to facilitate the uptake of cystine and dibasic amino acids.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSLC3A1 is integral to the reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids in renal and intestinal epithelial cells. It is a part of the cystine-dibasic amino acid transporter complex functioning alongside the light chain protein SLC7A9. This interaction ensures the effective transport of key molecules necessary for maintaining amino acid homeostasis within the body. By forming a dimer with SLC7A9 SLC3A1 helps regulate amino acid flux essential for normal cell function and metabolism.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSLC3A1 is actively involved in amino acid transport pathways particularly those specialized in neutral and dibasic amino acids. It is linked to the cysteine and methionine metabolism pathway where its activity ensures the prevention of cystine accumulation. The protein associates with SLC7A9 and other members of the solute carrier family facilitating various metabolic and transport processes that affect cellular nutrient balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nSLC3A1 mutations are related to a condition known as cystinuria a genetic disorder that leads to the formation of cystine stones in the kidneys. This connection is significant as malfunction of SLC3A1 disrupts cystine reabsorption causing excessive cystine in urine. The protein SLC7A9 is frequently connected with SLC3A1 in this disorder reflecting their partnership in amino acid transport. Understanding this relationship helps in the development of targeted treatments for cystinuria and related metabolic disruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854235586729,"sku":"ab196552","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab196552","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
