Protein Interactions
I used the program available at STRING to determine which proteins interact with genderblind and SLC7A11.
Genderblind
SLC7A11
Analysis
While analyzing all of the proteins that interact with genderblind, SLC7A11 and all of their homologs I found that many more proteins in all of the protein interaction networks also have the Amino Acid Permease 2 domain. This means that the AAP2 domain is not only not specific for possible mating behavior proteins but it is not specific for glutamate as well. The proteins that contain the AAP2 domain are highlighted in red in the protein interaction networks below:
