This gene consists of at least 14 exons, and its alternative splicing generates 3 transcript variants, all encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Annotation information Note: LAT2 (Gene ID: 7462) and SLC7A8 (Gene ID: 23428) share the LAT2 symbol/alias in common. LAT2 is sometimes used as an alternative name for solute carrier family 7 member 8 (SLC7A8), which can be confused with the official symbol for linker for activation of T cells family member 2 (LAT2).
