AAAP Family

The Amino Acid/Auxin Permease (AAAP) Family (TC# 2.A.18) is a family of secondary carrier proteins, a member of the APC Superfamily that includes hundreds of proteins from plants, animals, fungi and lower eukaryotes. There are 7 AAAP paralogues in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, at least 9 in Arabidopsis thaliana and at least 5 in Caenorhabditis elegans. Six AAAPs in A. thaliana are well characterized and transport neutral and charged amino acids with varying specificities and affinities.
