LAT1 acts as a crucial transporter of amino acids in human thymic carcinoma cells
28 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1, SLC7A5) incorporates essential amino acids into cells. Recent studies have shown that LAT1 is a predominant transporter in various human cancers. However, the function of LAT1 in thymic carcinoma remains unknown. Here we demonstrate that LAT1 is a critical transporter for human thymic carcinoma cells. LAT1 was strongly expressed in human thymic carcinoma tissues....
