Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.2.0)
Enables L-aspartate transmembrane transporter activity; L-serine transmembrane transporter activity; and neutral L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in L-aspartate import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within serine import across plasma membrane. Located in intermediate filament. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; lung; nose; and thymus primordium. Used to study spastic tetraplegia, thin corpus callosum, and progressive microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spastic tetraplegia, thin corpus callosum, and progressive microcephaly. Orthologous to human SLC1A4 (solute carrier family 1 member 4).
