SLC36A1
geneOn this page
Also known as LYAAT-1PAT1TRAMD3
Summary
SLC36A1 (solute carrier family 36 member 1, HGNC:18761) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q33.1, encoding Proton-coupled amino acid transporter 1 (Q7Z2H8). Electrogenic proton/amino acid symporter with selectivity for small apolar L-amino acids, their D-enantiomers and selected amino acid derivatives such as 4-aminobutanoate/GABA.
This gene encodes a member of the eukaryote-specific amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) 1 transporter family. The encoded protein functions as a proton-dependent, small amino acid transporter. This gene is clustered with related family members on chromosome 5q33.1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 19)
- PAT1 expressed exclusively in apical membrane of Caco-2 cells. hPAT1 may be responsible for H(+)-coupled amino acid transport expressed in apical membrane of Caco-2 cells. (PMID:12527723)
- A high-capacity imino acid carrier localized at the small intestinal luminal membrane that transports nutrients and amino acids and imino acids. (PMID:15521011)
- Amino acid uptake via hPAT1 is inhibited by activators of the cAMP pathway indirectly through inhibition of NHE3 activity. (PMID:15754324)
- PAT1a, which is 99.0% identical to protein interacting with APP tail 1 (PAT1), is a functional link between the transport and processing of beta-amyloid precursor protein APP and its two paralogs APLP1 and APLP2 in vivo. (PMID:17050537)
- His-55 might be responsible for binding and translocation of H+ in the course of cellular amino acid uptake by PAT1. (PMID:18230330)
- This study is the first to demonstrate both taurine uptake via PAT1 and functional expression of PAT1 at the apical membrane of the intestinal epithelium. (PMID:19074966)
- Data conclude that hPAT1 might be responsible for the intestinal absorption of beta-GPA thereby allowing its oral administration. (PMID:19358571)
- The role of N-glycosylation in transport function and surface targeting of the human solute carrier PAT1 (PMID:19409386)
- a disulfide bridge is essential for the transport function of the human proton-coupled amino acid transporter hPAT1 (PMID:19549785)
- In human cells, SLC36A1 localized on intracellular membranes is required for amino acid-dependent mTORC1 activation and cell proliferation. SLC36A1 also has similar in vivo growth regulatory activity to fly SLC36 AAAPs when expressed in Drosophila. (PMID:20498635)
- PATs function as part of an amino acid-sensing engine that drives mTORC1 activation from endosomal and lysosomal membranes (PMID:22574197)
- In hPAT1 expressing oocytes Gly-Tyr, Gly-Pro, and Gly-Phe inhibited currents induced by drug substances. (PMID:22853447)
- estrogen attenuates the activity of PAT1 by directly closing PAT1 (PMID:22975709)
- Data suggest that PAT1 in enterocytes is responsible for intestinal absorption of some of the alkaloids from areca nut (i.e., arecaidine, guvacine, isoguvacine). (PMID:23488788)
- Sertraline is an apparent non-competitive inhibitor of PAT1-mediated transport. (PMID:23962042)
- Data indicate that the glycosylation-deficient mutant of amino acid transporter PAT1 (PAT1(3)(NQ) ) is unstable and is degraded mainly via the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway in HEK293 cells. (PMID:28117901)
- A mechanism through which amino acids may suppress the expression of PAT1 on lysosomes by inducing protein cleavage to remove a targeting signal. (PMID:28670736)
- Increasing the PAT1 level does not readily increase the mTORC1 activity. The lysosomal PAT1 was increased by starvation and decreased by nutrient replenishment. The lysosomal PAT1 plays a negative role on the mTORC1 activity. (PMID:30253187)
- SLC36A1-mTORC1 signaling drives acquired resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. (PMID:31555743)
