SLC7A5 and neoplasm: To maintain amino acid nutrition for tumor growth, the expression of the LAT1 (SLC7A5) transporter is controlled by the pro-carcinogenic transcription factors c-Myc (Yue et al., 2017), HIF2α (Elorza et al., 2012), and NOTCH (Grzes et al., 2017), as well as the post-transcriptional regulator miR-126 (Miko et al., 2011).
