SLC43A2 (LAT4), associated with the plasma membrane, mediates the uptake of isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, and valine in a biphasic and sodium ion-independent transport process. Northern blotting and in situ hybridization experiments indicate gene expression in kidney and intestine (Bodoy et al. 2005).
