2.A.3.8.1
L-type neutral amino acid transporter, LAT1 (Na+-independent) (prefers amino acids with branched or aromatic side chains: Phe, Ile, Leu, Val, Trp, His; catalyzes obligatory exchange with μM affinities on the outside and mM affinities on the inside [1000x difference]). Both LAT1 and LAT2 (2.A.3.8.6) catalyze uptake of S-nitroso-L-cysteine. These and other LAT family members are specifically inhibited by 2-aminobicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-carboxylic acid (Li and Whorton, 2005). Mediates tryptophan:kynurenine exchange (Kaper et al., 2007). Also transports thyroid hormones and their derivatives (Kinne et al., 2011; Krause and Hinz 2017; Krause and Hinz 2019).  The chicken orthologue transports thyrold hormones, especially T2, with low affinity (Nele Bourgeois et al. 2016).
