Y+L amino acid transporter 1 (Monocyte amino acid permease 2) (MOP-2) (Solute carrier family 7 member 7) (y(+)L-type amino acid transporter 1) (Y+LAT1) (y+LAT-1).  It transports cationic amino acids such as arginine and lysine out of the cell. Arginine, in particular, is critical for T-cell activation and function in the immune response, and Y+L   plays a role in the pathogenesis of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ji et al. 2018).
