Putative sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 10, also known assolute carrier family 38 member 10,[5] is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theSLC38A10gene.[6]
Cellular localization study of SLC38A10 protein was investigated on different cell lines and primary cortex neuronal cells using Immunocytochemistry and GFP SLC38A10 vector. SLC38A10 localized on Golgi apparatus and ER organelles.[7]
Recent study on SLC38A10 knockout model provided some insight on possible association with p53 protein and cell survival.[8]
A SLC38A family member has been observed progressively downregulated inHuman papillomavirus-positiveneoplastic keratinocytes derived from uterine cervicalpreneoplastic lesions at different levels of malignancy.[9] For this reason, SLC38A is likely to be associated with tumorigenesis and may be a potential prognostic marker for uterine cervicalpreneoplastic lesions progression.[9]
