Abstract

Amino acid transporters have both carrier activity and extracellular amino acid sensing function as a receptor. The amino acid transporters on membrane, especially the transporters of large neutral amino acids including leucine, can regulate cell metabolism through the cellular nutrition signaling pathway:mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway regulating cell growth and general control nonderepressible kinase (GCN) pathway activated by amino acid starvation. Given that the study of amino acid transporters is important to animal nutrition, the classification of amino acid transporters, amino acid sensing function mediated by amino acid transporters and the tissue specificity of amino acid transporters were reviewed to better assisting the development of related research.
