- Description
- aat-5 encodes a predicted amino acid transporter catalytic subunit; unlike catalytic subunits in other organisms, however, AAT-5 does not contain the highly conserved cysteine residue known to facilitate covalent interaction with a glycoprotein subunit, suggesting that AAT-5 does not require this residue for heterodimer formation or alternatively, does not require the glycoprotein subunit for function.
