Abstract excerpt
The proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT-SLC46A1) is required for folate transport across the apical membrane of the small intestine and across the choroid plexus. This study focuses on the structure/function of the 7th transmembrane domain (TMD), and its relationship to the 8th TMD as assessed by the substituted cysteine accessibility method (SCAM) and dicysteine cross-linking. Nine exofacial residues (I278C;...
