Abstract excerpt
The Na+/citrate transporter, NaCT (SLC13A5), is a therapeutic target for metabolic diseases. Citrate is an important signaling molecule that regulates the activity of lipid- and glucose-metabolizing enzymes in cells. Previous studies identified two compounds, PF-06649298 (compound 2: ) and PF-06678419 (compound 4: ), that inhibit human NaCT with high affinity, and one of the compounds demonstrated specificity...
