2.A.23.3.1
Neutral amino acid (alanine, serine, cysteine, threonine):Na+ symporter. Also transports homocysteine (Jiang et al., 2007). AscT1 is the Syncytin-1 (Q9UQF0) receptor. Syncytin-1, of 538 aas with 4-7 TMSs, is a viral fusion protein and is involved in the development of multiple sclerosis (Antony et al. 2007). Mutation causes nuerological problems including global developmental delay, severe progressive microcephaly, seizures, spasticity and thin corpus callosum (CC) (Heimer et al. 2015).  Alkoxy hydroxy-pyrrolidine carboxylic acids (AHPCs) and hydroxy-l-proline act as selective high-affinity inhibitors of the SLC1 family neutral amino acid transporters, SLC1A4 and SLC1A5 (Lyda et al. 2024).
