Function
General amino-acid permease involved in the uptake of all the naturally occurring L-amino-acids, related compounds such as ornithine and citrulline, some D-amino acids, toxic amino acid analogs such as azetidine-2-carboxylate, and the polyamines putrescine and spermidine (PubMed:5474888, PubMed:10467005, PubMed:10373490, PubMed:10953083, PubMed:14968425, PubMed:15707981). Senses its transport substrates to set an appropriate level of transporter activity at the cell surface (PubMed:21471002). Required for FLO11 expression and invasive growth (PubMed:22844449).
