Background
ASCT1 functions primarily as a neutral amino acid exchanger. ASCT 1-mediated transport requires the presence of sodium ions but ASCT1 mediates only homo- and hetero exchange of amino acids and is insensitive to K+. The properties of ASCT1 suggest that it may function to equilibrate different pools of neutral amino acids and provide a mechanism to link amino acid concentration gradients. ASCT1 expression has been found at varying levels in every tissue examined.Synonyms: ASCT-1, ASCT1, Alanine/serine/cysteine/threonine transporter 1, Neutral amino acid transporter A, SATT, Solute carrier family 1 member 4
