aat-4 encodes a predicted amino acid transporter catalytic subunit; unlike catalytic subunits in other organisms, however, AAT-4 does not contain the highly conserved cysteine residue known to facilitate covalent interaction with a glycoprotein subunit, suggesting that AAT-4 does not require this residue for heterodimer formation or, alternatively, does not require the glycoprotein subunit for function.
Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in amino acid transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
