CommentOverexpression of this gene results in resistance to a leucine analog, 4-azaleucine. The protein has 5 potential transmembrane motifs. It has been inferred, but not experimentally demonstrated, to be part of a branched-chain amino acid transport system. Commonly found in association with azlD.
