Abstract excerpt
Glutathione synthesis, a vital cellular process, depends on L-cystine uptake by the amino acid transporter, System x-C. Here we show that a second transporter, System X-AG, is required for normal System x-C activity and glutathione maintenance by employing somatic cell mutants of CHO-K1. Uptake by System x-C in two X-AG-null mutants is significantly lower than that of CHO-K1, either under control conditions or...
