An amino acid transporter is a membrane transport protein that transports amino acids. They are mainly of the solute carrier family.
Families.
There are several families that function in amino acid transport, some of these include:
Solute carrier family examples.
VIAAT.
Vesicular inhibitory amino acid transporter (VIAAT) is responsible for the storage of GABA and glycine in neuronal synaptic vesicles.
