SLC1A4 - Neutral amino acid transporter A
Order number: 71591
Description
We are excited to introduce our off-the-shelf, full-length, active, and native Neutral amino acid transporter A, commonly known as SLC1A4. SLC1A4 is a sodium-coupled antiporter of neutral amino acids that operates via a tri-substrate transport cycle, exchanging neutral amino acids between the extracellular and intracellular compartments, coupled with the inward cotransport of at least one sodium ion. It plays a key role in amino acid homeostasis and is particularly important for serine transport in the brain. Loss-of-function mutations in SLC1A4 cause an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, microcephaly, and hypomyelination.
Our SLC1A4 protein has been solubilized and stabilized using our NativeMP™ platform, ensuring it retains its native structure and full biological activity, making it ideal for various research applications.
Applications:
- Screening/Validation
- Biologics Development
- Structure Determination
- Small Molecule Drug Development
The protein delivered can be used for these specific applications. When ordering, please indicate which applications you intend to use the protein for in the contact form to ensure the best results.

| Function | SLC1A4 is involved in the transport of neutral amino acids, particularly serine, across cell membranes, supporting amino acid homeostasis and neurotransmission in the brain. Mutations in this gene are linked to an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by developmental delay, microcephaly, and hypomyelination. |
