2.A.18.8.2
Electrogenic, proton-coupled, amino acid symporter 2 (PAT2; Tramdorin-1; SLC36A2) (transports small amino acids: glycine, alanine and proline; found in the ER, not in lysosomes, of neuronal cells in the brain and spinal cord; it can catalyze bidirectional transport depending on the driving force) (Boll et al., 2004; Rubio-Aliaga et al., 2004). SLC36A2 is expressed at the apical surface of the human renal proximal tubule where it functions in the reabsorption of glycine, proline, hydroxyproline and amino acid derivatives with narrower substrate selectivity and higher affinity (Km 0.1-0.7 mM) than SLC36A1. Mutations in SLC36A2 lead to hyperglycinuria and iminoglycinuria.
