Figure 1 Structure of LAT1.
LAT1 is composed of 12 transmembrane helices that are predicted to form a cylindrical conformation penetrating the cellular membrane. LAT1 associates with 4F2hc for stable localization at the cellular membrane. LAT2 is similar in structure to LAT1, whereas LAT3 and LAT4 function independently of 4F2hc.
