With regard to transporters that are closely connected to metabolism, amino acid transporter-associated diseases are linked to metabolic disorders, particularly when they involve different organs, cell types, or cell compartments. To date, 65 different human solute carrier (SLC) families and more than 400 transporter genes have been identified, including 11 that are known to include amino acid transporters. This review intends to summarize and update all the conditions in which a strong association has been found between an amino acid transporter and an inherited metabolic disorder. Many of these inherited disorders have been identified in recent years. In this work, the physiological functions of amino acid transporters will be described by the inherited diseases that arise from transporter impairment. The pathogenesis, clinical phenotype, laboratory findings, diagnosis, genetics, and treatment of these disorders are also briefly described. Appropriate clinical and diagnostic characterization of the underlying molecular defect may give patients the opportunity to avail themselves of appropriate therapeutic options in the future. eng SLC Solute carriers Membrane transport Inborn errors of metabolism Amino acid transporter Symporter Inherited metabolic disorders Proteínas transportadoras de solutos Errores innatos del metabolismo Sistemas de transporte de aminoácidos Simportadores Encefalopatías metabólicas innatas Amino Acid Transport Defects in Human Inherited Metabolic Disorders review article
