'''Leucine transporter''' (LeuT) is a membrane protein which is comprised of 12 transmembrane helices forming a channel. LeuT clears the synapse after signal transduction. LeuT utilizes the electrochemical potential gradient of Na+ ions across the membrane to catalyze the uptake of leucine. | '''Leucine transporter''' (LeuT) is a membrane protein which is comprised of 12 transmembrane helices forming a channel.
