Summary
SLC38A5 (solute carrier family 38 member 5, HGNC:18070) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp11.23, encoding Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 5 (Q8WUX1). Symporter that cotransports neutral amino acids and sodium ions, coupled to an H(+) antiporter activity.
The protein encoded by this gene is a system N sodium-coupled amino acid transporter. The encoded protein transports glutamine, asparagine, histidine, serine, alanine, and glycine across the cell membrane, but does not transport charged amino acids, imino acids, or N-alkylated amino acids. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.

Function. Symporter that cotransports neutral amino acids and sodium ions, coupled to an H(+) antiporter activity. Releases L-glutamine and glycine from astroglial cells and may participate in the glutamate/GABA-L-glutamine cycle and the NMDA receptors activation. In addition, contributes significantly to L-glutamine uptake in retina, namely in ganglion and Mueller cells therefore, participates in the retinal glutamate-glutamine cycle. The transport activity is pH sensitive and Li(+) tolerant. Moreover functions in both direction and is associated with large uncoupled fluxes of protons. The transport is electroneutral coupled to the cotransport of 1 Na(+) and the antiport of 1 H(+). May have a particular importance for modulation of net hepatic glutamine flux.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Predominantly expressed in stomach, brain, liver, lung and intestinal tract.
Activity regulation. Not inhibited by lithium. Partial allosteric regulation on ions sodium binding.
Similarity. Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family.
