SLC6A19

Solute carrier family 6 member 19 also known as the sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1 or system B(0) neutral amino acid transporter AT1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A19 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
SLC6A19 is a system B(0) transporter that mediates epithelial resorption of neutral amino acids across the is_associated_with::apical membrane in the kidney and intestine.

Clinical significance
Mutations in the SLC6A19 gene cause is_associated_with::Hartnup disease.
