SLC38A9
solute carrier family 38 member 9 | FLJ90709, SNAT9

Enables several functions, including L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity; cholesterol binding activity; and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in carboxylic acid transport; cellular response to amino acid stimulus; and positive regulation of TORC1 signaling. Located in Ragulator complex; late endosome; and lysosomal membrane. Part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

SLC38A9 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SLC38A9 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SLC38A9. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = SLC38A9 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to SLC38A9

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SLC38A9, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
