Lysosomal amino acid transporter 1 homolog (PQLC2) is a lysosomal membrane-associated protein that mediates the efflux of the cationic amino acids L-Arg, L-His and L-Lys from the lysosomal lumen to the cytosol, contributing to their homeostasis in cells. PQLC2 belongs to a family of heptahelical membrane proteins, together with the founding member cystinosin, the lysosomal cystine exporter defective in cystinosis. The family are characterised by a duplicated motif termed the PQ loop (Jezegou et al. 2012).
