2.A.3.8.20
Large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 2 (L-type amino acid transporter 2) (hLAT2) (Solute carrier family 7 member 8). Certain detergents stabilize and allow purification of the 4F2hc-LAT2 complex, allowing the measurement of substrate binding. In addition, an improved 3D map could be obtained (Meury et al. 2014).  Transports many amino acids including thyroid hormones 3',3-T2 and T3 (Hinz et al. 2015; Kinne et al. 2015).
