Predicted to enable L-kynurenine transmembrane transporter activity and cystine:glutamate antiporter activity. Involved in L-cystine transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including oligopeptide transmembrane transport; regulation of cellular amino acid metabolic process; and regulation of protein localization. Located in apical part of cell; astrocyte projection; and brush border membrane. Is expressed in brain; eye; olfactory epithelium; and spinal cord meninges.
