Abstract excerpt
The human Na(+)-dependent neutral amino acid transporter type 2 (hASCT2/SLC1A5) plays an important role in the transport of neutral amino acids in epithelial cells. The serine and threonine kinases SGK1-3 and protein kinase B have been implicated in the regulation of several members of the SLC1 transporter family by enhancing their plasma membrane abundance. The present study explored whether those kinases...
