Biological function summary
CD98 forms a complex with light chains of the heterodimeric amino acid transporters such as LAT1 and LAT2. This interaction enhances the uptake of neutral amino acids into cells. CD98 also interacts with integrins influencing cell adhesion and migration which are critical for cellular signaling and response. Through these interactions CD98 impacts not only cell survival and growth but also immune responses and angiogenesis.
Pathways
CD98 is a vital component of the mTOR signaling pathway influencing cell growth and proliferation. It also plays a part in the integrin signaling pathway which regulates cell adhesion and migration. In these pathways CD98 works closely with proteins like FG1 and mTORC1. These relationships enable it to modulate cellular responses to nutritional availability and mechanical cues from the environment.
