Name :
Human CD98 Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant

Description :
CD98, also known as 4F2, MDU1 and SLC3A2, is a single-pass type II transmembrane protein belonging to the SLC3A (solute carrier family 3A) transporter family. CD98 is expressed ubiquitously in all tissues with highest levels detected in kidney, placenta and testis and weakest level in thymus. As a common heavy chain, CD98 is required for the function of light chain amino-acid transporters (LAT) in sodium-independent transport of large neutral amino acids such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, leucine, arginine and tryptophan. The transporter exists as a disulfide-linked heterodimer of CD98 with one of several light chains (SLC7A5, SLC7A6, SLCA7A7, SLC7A8, SLC7A10 or SLCA7A11). CD98 plays an important role in nitric oxide synthesis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via transport of L-arginine. CD98 is also involved in the transport of L-DOPA across the blood-brain barrier, and thyroid hormones across the cell membrane in tissues such as placenta. CD98 is located selectively at cell-cell adhesion site. CD98 constitutively and specifically associates with beta-1 integrins, including alpha-2/beta-1, alpha-3/beta-1, alpha-5/beta-1 and alpha-6/beta-1. CD98 may help target LAT1 and LAT2 to the plasma membrane and regulate the transport activity.
