APC Superfamily
The APC superfamily consists of numerous families of porters that transport amino acids and their dereivatives. See: Chang A.B., Lin R., Studley W.K., Tran C.V., Saier M.H. Jr. 2004. Phylogeny as a Guide to Structure and Function of Membrane Transport Proteins. Mol Membr Biol. 21(3):171-81.

These proteins have two 5 TMS repeats except for NCS2, AE and SulP which have two 7 TMS repeats.
