Abstract excerpt
Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1c1 (Oatp1c1) is a high-affinity T(4) transporter expressed in brain barrier cells. To identify Oatp1c1 amino acid residues critical for T(4) transport, consensus membrane topology was predicted and a three-dimensional Oatp1c1 structure was generated using the known structures of major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporters, glycerol 3-phosphate transporter, lactose...
