The directed movement of amino acids into a cell or organelle. The directed movement of carboxylic acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carboxylic acids are organic acids containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). The directed movement of amino acids into the vacuole. The directed movement of D-aspartate, the L-enantiomer of the anion of 2-aminopentanedioic acid, into a cell or organelle. The directed movement of amines, including polyamines, organic compounds containing one or more amino groups, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents, into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The uptake of amino acid neurotransmitters by neurons or glial cells. This process leads to inactivation and recycling of neurotransmitters. The directed movement of L-enantiomer amino acids into a cell or organelle. The directed movement of lysine, 2,6-diaminohexanoic acid, into a cell or organelle. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of amino acid import. Amino acid import is the directed movement of amino acids into a cell or organelle.
