Protein: Sodium-coupled neutral amino acid symporter 2 (Amino acid transporter A2) (Solute carrier family 38 member 2) (System A amino acid transporter 2) (System A transporter 1) (System N amino acid transporter 2) (Q9JHE5)
Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Function: Symporter that cotransports neutral amino acids and sodium ions from the extraccellular to the intracellular side of the cell membrane. The trasnport is pH-sensitive, Li(+)-intolerant, electrogenic, driven by the Na(+) electrochemical gradient and cotransports of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood-brain barrier. May function in the transport of amino acids in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta (By similarity). Maintains a key metabolic glutamine/glutamate balance underpinning retrograde signaling by dendritic release of the neurotransmitter glutamate. Transports L-proline in differentiating osteoblasts for the efficient synthesis of proline-enriched proteins and provides proline essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation during bone development (By similarity).

Note=Insulin promotes recruitment to the plasma membrane from a pool localized in the trans-Golgi network or endosomes (PubMed:11834730). Enriched in the somatodendritic compartment of neurons, it is also detected at the axonal shaft but excluded from the nerve terminal (PubMed:15561425, PubMed:16616430, PubMed:18832333). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11834730, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15561425, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16616430, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18832333}.
