YNL338W

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Dubious open reading frame; unlikely to encode a functional protein, based on available experimental and comparative sequence data; completely overlaps TEL14L-XC, which is a telomeric X element core sequence on the left arm of chromosome XIV

Slc7a11

Homo sapiens

This gene encodes a member of a heteromeric, sodium-independent, anionic amino acid transport system that is highly specific for cysteine and glutamate. In this system, designated Xc(-), the anionic form of cysteine is transported in exchange for glutamate. This protein has been identified as the predominant mediator of Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus fusion and entry permissiveness into cells. Also, increased expression of this gene in primary gliomas (compared to normal brain tissue) was associated with increased glutamate secretion via the XCT channels, resulting in neuronal cell death.

ren

Rattus norvegicus

Enables endopeptidase activity and insulin-like growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including amyloid-beta metabolic process; angiotensin maturation; and response to purine-containing compound. Located in extracellular space. Used to study hypertension. Biomarker of hypertension and primary biliary cholangitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in essential hypertension; familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy; hand, foot and mouth disease; hypertension; and portal hypertension. Orthologous to human REN (renin); PARTICIPATES IN renin-angiotensin cascade pathway; benazepril pharmacodynamics pathway; candesartan pharmacodynamics pathway; INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 11-deoxycorticosterone; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine.
