Abstract excerpt
Citric acid cycle intermediates, including succinate and citrate, are absorbed across the apical membrane by the NaDC1 Na+/dicarboxylate cotransporter located in the kidney and small intestine. The secondary structure model of NaDC1 contains 11 transmembrane helices (TM). TM7 was shown previously to contain determinants of citrate affinity, and Arg-349 at the extracellular end of the helix is required for...
