Predicted to enable L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity and channel activity. Involved in L-cystine transport and lysosomal lumen pH elevation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; oligopeptide transmembrane transport; and regulation of amino acid metabolic process. Located in astrocyte projection and brush border membrane. Is expressed in brain; eye; olfactory epithelium; and spinal cord meninges.
