Slc38a1

Enables L-glutamine transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid biosynthetic process; glutamine transport; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in axon and basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early embryo; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human SLC38A1 (solute carrier family 38 member 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Slc38a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
