Molecular and functional analysis of glutamine uptake in human hepatoma and liver-derived cells
1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
Human hepatoma cells take up glutamine at rates severalfold faster than the system N-mediated transport rates observed in normal human hepatocytes. Amino acid inhibition, kinetic, Northern blotting, RT-PCR, and restriction enzyme analyses collectively identified the transporter responsible in six human hepatoma cell lines as amino acid transporter B(0) (ATB(0)), the human ortholog of rodent ASCT2. The majority of...
