Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter B(0)AT1


Sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter BAT1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC6A19 gene.

Function

SLC6A19 is a system B transporter that mediates epithelial resorption of neutral amino acids across the apical membrane in the kidney and intestine.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the SLC6A19 gene cause Hartnup disease.
