Functional analysis of novel mutations in y+LAT-1 amino acid transporter gene causing lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI)
12 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI; MIM 222700) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defective transport of the cationic amino acids lysine, arginine and ornithine at the basolateral membrane of the polar epithelial cells in the intestine and renal tubules, and by hyperammonemia after high-protein meals. LPI is caused by mutations in the SLC7A7 (solute carrier family 7, member 7) gene encoding...
