Slc7a6 - solute carrier family 7 (cationic amino acid transporter, y+ system), member 6

Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity and basic amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in basic amino acid transmembrane transport and ornithine transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within amino acid transport. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle and plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; embryo; and gonad. Orthologous to human SLC7A6 (solute carrier family 7 member 6).
