Descriptor English: Cationic Amino Acid Transporter 2
Descriptor Spanish: Transportador de Aminoácidos Catiônicos 2
Descriptor transportador 2 de aminoácidos catiónicos
Entry term(s) transportador CAT-2
Scope note: Transportador de aminoácidos del sistema y+ de alta afinidad y baja capacidad con una gran similitud con el TRANSPORTADOR 1 DE AMINOÁCIDOS CATIÓNICOS. Existen las dos isoformas de la proteína, CAT-2A y CAT-2B, debido al ayuste alternativo de ARNm. El transportador tiene especificidad por el transporte de ARGININA, LISINA y ORNITINA.

Scope note: A high-affinity, low capacity system y+ amino acid transporter with strong similarity to CATIONIC AMINO ACID TRANSPORTER 1. The two isoforms of the protein, CAT-2A and CAT-2B, exist due to alternative mRNA splicing. The transporter has specificity for the transport of ARGININE; LYSINE; and ORNITHINE.
