NCBI Protein Information
cationic amino acid transporter 6
NCBI Summary
Encodes a member of the cationic amino acid transporter (CAT) subfamily of amino acid polyamine choline transporters. Does not mediate efficient uptake of basic amino acids in yeast or Xenopus systems but can transport neutral and acidic amino acid analogs. Expressed in sink tissues. Induced during infestation of roots by the plant parasitic root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Localized in the plasma membrane.
