SLC1A1 encodes a member of the high-affinity glutamate transporters that play an essential role in transporting glutamate across plasma membranes. In brain,...
SLC1A2 / EAAT2 is a member of a family of the solute carrier family of proteins. The membrane-bound protein is the principal transporter that clears the...
Glutamate and aspartate are excitatory neurotransmitters that have been implicated in a number of pathologic states of the nervous system. Accumulation of...
A common cell surface receptor is used for cell entry by the RD114/simian type D retroviruses, which include the feline endogenous retrovirus RD114, all...
EAAT4 is expressed predominantly in the cerebellum, has high affinity for the excitatory amino acids L-aspartate and L-glutamate. When stimulated by these...
EAAT5-mediated L-glutamate uptake was sodium- and voltage-dependent and chloride-independent. Transporter currents elicited by glutamate were also sodium-...
SLC22A12 is a urate transporter and urate-anion exchanger which regulates the level of urate in the blood. This protein is an integral membrane protein...
The encoded protein is an integral protein of the plasma membrane containing 12 transmembrane segments. The first functional designation of this protein was...
Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase is one of several closely related mitochondrial-membrane carrier proteins that shuttle substrates between cytosol and the...
Pendrin is an ion exchanger found in the cortical collecting duct.Pendrin is found at the luminal membrane of follicular cells in the thyroid gland. It...
SLC26A8 is one member of a family of sulfate/anion transporter genes. Family members are well conserved in their genomic (number and size of exons) and...
Very long chain fatty acid synthetase (VLACS, or SLC27A2), an enzyme whose function is presumed missing in ALD, is highly expressed in liver and kidney, but...
GLUT1 facilitates the transport of glucose across the plasma membranes of mammalian cells.GLUT1 is responsible for the low-level of basal glucose uptake...
GLUT4 is the insulin-regulated glucose transporter found in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac) that is responsible for...
By screening a human temporal cortex cDNA library with a mouse zinc transporter-3 (Znt3) cDNA, Palmiter et al. (1996) cloned cDNAs encoding ZNT3. The...
SLC30A8 is expressed at a high level only in the pancreas, particularly in islets of Langerhans. The protein colocalizes with insulin in the secretory...
Copper is an element essential for life, but excessive copper can be toxic or even lethal to the cell. Therefore, cells have developed sophisticated ways to...
Amino acid transporters play essential roles in the uptake of nutrients, production of energy, chemical metabolism, detoxification, and neurotransmitter...
