SLC7A6 as a heterodimer with SLC3A2 in the plasma membrane mediates the exchange of arginine for leucine and a sodium ion. The physiological concentrations of arginine and leucine are expected to favor arginine export. By the criterion of Northern blotting, SLC7A6 is expressed in a variety of tissues (Broer et al. 2000).
