::*The cavity is located between the N-lobe (formed by TM1, TM2, TM4, TM5) and the C-lobe (formed by TM7, TM8, TM10, TM11).
:*The cavity is located between the N-lobe (formed by TM1, TM2, TM4, TM5) and the C-lobe (formed by TM7, TM8, TM10, TM11).


::*It possesses a positively charged electrostatic environment, which explains its strong preference for transporting anionic substrates.

*'''Cavity Borders and Cytosolic Gate:'''


::*The top border (extracellular side) of the cavity is formed by residues including N35, Y230, Y353, and Y354 and are involved in substrate recognition
