Background
Solute carrier family 7 member 5also known aslarge neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 1is aproteinthat in humans is encoded by theSLC7A5gene. LAT1 is expressed predominantly in adult lung and liver but is also expressed in brain, thymus, retina, testis, placenta, bone marrow and fetal liver. In the retina, LAT1 localizes to the blood-retinal-barrier (BRB) and mediates L-leucine transport from the blood to the retina.
