L-Type Amino Acid Transporter 1 Complex

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** A protein complex that mediates uptake of both branched and aromatic large neutral amino acids. L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1; CD98) is a heterodimeric sodium-independent, high-affinity transporter comprised of the solute carrier (SLC) family members amino acid transporter heavy chain SLC3A2 and large neutral amino acids transporter small subunit 1 (SLC7A5).

**Synonyms:** - CD98 - CD98 Antigen - GP125 - L-Type Amino Acid Transporter 1 - LAT1 - Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter 1 - Large Neutral Amino Acid Transporter 1 Complex - gp125
