Function Functions as a sodium-dependent amino acid transporter. Mediates the saturable, pH-sensitive and electrogenic cotransport of neutral amino acids and sodium ions with a stoichiometry of 1:1. May function in the transport of amino acids at the blood-brain barrier and in the supply of maternal nutrients to the fetus through the placenta.

                      Introduced Variation Glucose (low concentration) addition (17.50 hours)
                      Induced Change SLC38A2 protein abundance levels: decrease (FC = 1.50)
                      Summary Introduced Variation         Induced Change 
                      Disease Status Cerebral stroke [ICD-11: 8B11]
                      Details It is reported that low glucose addition causes the decrease of SLC38A2 protein abundance compared with control group.
