Summary

SLC6A19 (solute carrier family 6 member 19, HGNC:27960) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p15.33, encoding Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1 (Q695T7). Transporter that mediates resorption of neutral amino acids across the apical membrane of renal and intestinal epithelial cells.

This gene encodes a system B(0) transmembrane protein that actively transports most neutral amino acids across the apical membrane of epithelial cells. Mutations in this gene may result in Hartnup disorder, an inherited disease with symptoms such as pellagra, cerebellar ataxia, and psychosis. The expression and function of B0AT1 (SLC6A19) in intestinal cells depends on the presence of the accessory protein angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) which, among other functions, acts as a chaperone for membrane trafficking of B0AT1. The ACE2 is also the cellular receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and for SARS-CoV-2 that is causing the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic

Function. Transporter that mediates resorption of neutral amino acids across the apical membrane of renal and intestinal epithelial cells. This uptake is sodium-dependent and chloride-independent. Requires CLTRN in kidney or ACE2 in intestine for cell surface expression and amino acid transporter activity.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts in a tissue-specific manner with ACE2 in small intestine and with CLTRN in the kidney. Interacts with CLTRN; this interaction is required for trafficking of SLC6A19 to the plasma membrane and for its catalytic activation in kidneys. Interacts with ACE2; this interaction is required for trafficking of SLC6A19 to the plasma membrane and for its catalytic activation in intestine. Interacts with ANPEP; the interaction positively regulates its amino acid transporter activity.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane.

Tissue specificity. Robust expression in kidney and small intestine, with minimal expression in pancreas. Also expressed in stomach, liver, duodenum, ileocecum, colon and prostate. Not detected in testis, whole brain, cerebellum, fetal liver, spleen, skeletal muscle, uterus, heart or lung.

Disease relevance. Hartnup disorder (HND) [MIM:234500] Autosomal recessive abnormality of renal and gastrointestinal neutral amino acid transport noted for its clinical variability. First described in 1956, HND is characterized by increases in the urinary and intestinal excretion of neutral amino acids. Individuals with typical Hartnup aminoaciduria may be asymptomatic, some develop a photosensitive pellagra-like rash, attacks of cerebellar ataxia and other neurological or psychiatric features. Although the definition of HND was originally based on clinical and biochemical abnormalities, its marked clinical heterogeneity has led to it being known as a disorder with a consistent pathognomonic neutral hyperaminoaciduria. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Hyperglycinuria (HGLY) [MIM:138500] A condition characterized by excess of glycine in the urine. In some cases it is associated with renal colic and renal oxalate stones. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. SLC6A19 deficiency combined with haploinsufficiency of SLC6A20 or partially inactivating mutations in SLC36A2, can be responsible for hyperglycinuria. Iminoglycinuria (IG) [MIM:242600] A disorder of renal tubular reabsorption of glycine and imino acids (proline and hydroxyproline), marked by excessive levels of all three substances in the urine. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. SLC6A19 deficiency combined with haploinsufficiency of SLC6A20 or partially inactivating mutations in SLC36A2, can be responsible for iminoglycinuria. Additional polymorphisms and mutations in SLC6A18 can contribute to the IG phenotype in some families.

Similarity. Belongs to the sodium:neurotransmitter symporter (SNF) (TC 2.A.22) family. SLC6A19 subfamily.
