The SLC38A5/SNAT5 amino acid transporter: from pathophysiology to pro-cancer roles in the tumor microenvironment

Giuseppe Taurino,
Martina Chiu,
Massimiliano G. Bianchi
et al.

Abstract: SLC38A5/SNAT5 is a system N transporter that can mediate net inward or outward transmembrane fluxes of neutral amino acids coupled with Na+ (symport) and H+ (antiport). Its preferential substrates are amino acids with side chains containing amide (glutamine, and asparagine) or imidazole (histidine) groups, but also serine, glycine and alanine are transported by the carrier. Expressed in the pancreas, intestinal tract, brain, liver, bone marrow, and placenta, it is regulated at mRNA and protein levels by mTORC1… Show more

“…There was not glutamine metabolism related reports about F13A1, NOS3, GFPT2, TGM2 and SLC7A7 genes. SLC38A5 is reported as a amino acid transporter shuttled amino acids (including glutamine) across cell member but not the glutamine specific transporter [ [55] , [56] , [57] ]. Both GLS and GOT2 were essential genes to glutamine metabolism [ 28 , 36 , 37 ].…”

“…With respect to ASCT2, the pro‐tumoral role of SNAT5 is much less characterized and is emerging only in the last few years, in parallel with a renewed interest in Asn 46–48 . However, the transporter is highly regulated, is a target of Myc and is overexpressed in different cancer models 49–51 …”
