Function. Symporter that cotransports specific neutral amino acids and sodium ions, coupled to an H(+) antiporter activity. Mainly participates in the glutamate-GABA-glutamine cycle in brain where it transports L-glutamine from astrocytes in the intercellular space for the replenishment of both neurotransmitters glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in neurons and also functions as the major influx transporter in ganglion cells mediating the uptake of glutamine. The transport activity is specific for L-glutamine, L-histidine and L-asparagine. The transport is electroneutral coupled to the cotransport of 1 Na(+) and the antiport of 1 H(+). The transport is pH dependent, saturable, Li(+) tolerant and functions in both direction depending on the concentration gradients of its substrates and cotransported ions. Also mediates an amino acid-gated H(+) conductance that is not stoichiometrically coupled to the amino acid transport but which influences the ionic gradients that drive the amino acid transport. In addition, may play a role in nitrogen metabolism, amino acid homeostasis, glucose metabolism and renal ammoniagenesis.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Basolateral cell membrane.
Disease relevance. Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 102 (DEE102) [MIM:619881] A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE102 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by onset of variable types of seizures in infancy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
