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. Six AAAPs in A. thaliana are well characterized and transport neutral and charged amino acids with varying specificities and affinities.[1][2]
