    Abstract:
    We have isolated a cDNA clone by screening a rabbit kidney cortex cDNA library for expression of sodium-independent transport of L-arginine and L-alanine in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Expressed uptake relates to a single component of sodium-independent transport for dibasic and neutral amino acids. This transport activity resembles the functionally defined system b0,+ and carries cystine and dibasic amino acids with high affinity. The rBAT (b0,+ amino acid transporter-related) mRNA is found mainly in kidney and intestinal mucosa. It encodes a predicted 77.8-kDa protein with only one putative transmembrane domain and seven potential N-glycosylation sites. This protein could either be a constitutive element or a specific activator of system b0,+.
