2.A.3.8.14
The Asc-type small neutral L-amino acid:H+ symport transporter-2 (Asc-2). Does not associate with 4F2hc or rBAT, but probably associates with some comparable heavy chain. Doesn't transport some substrates of Asc-1 such as α-aminoisobutyric acid and β-alanine (Chairoungdua et al., 2001)

Accession Number:Q8VIE6
Protein Name:Asc-type amino acid transporter 2 aka Asc-2
Length:465
Molecular Weight:50947.00
Species:Mus musculus (Mouse) [10090]
Number of TMSs:11
Location1 / Topology2 / Orientation3: Membrane1 / Multi-pass membrane protein2
Substrate hydron, L-alpha-amino acid
