Protein
Amino acid permease 5
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Amino acid-proton symporter. Stereospecific transporter with a broad specificity for glutamate and both neutral and basic amino acids. Reduced affinities for asparagine and valine. High affinity transport of the cationic amino acids arginine and lysine, but not of histidine.
Similarity
Belongs to the amino acid/polyamine transporter 2 family. Amino acid/auxin permease (AAAP) (TC 2.A.18.2) subfamily.
