Abstract excerpt
The Na+/dicarboxylate cotransporter (NaDC1) is involved in the absorption of citric acid cycle intermediates from the lumen of the renal proximal tubule and small intestine. The NaDC1 orthologues from human (h) and rabbit (rb) exhibit differences in citrate and cation transport properties. The citrate Km and sodium KNa values are much larger in human than rabbit NaDC1. Our previous study showed that transmembrane...
