Solute carrier family 3 member 2 (SLC3A2), or CD98hc, encodes another subunit of heterodimeric amino acid transporter that is overregulated in six lung cancer datasets and establishes a heterodimeric transmembrane protein complex with SLC7A5 to catalyze amino acid transport (Chiduza et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene SLC3A2 and lung carcinoma.
