Structural basis for amino acid exchange by a human heteromeric amino acid transporter
17 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Significance Amino acids are involved in metabolism, protein biosynthesis, and signal transduction of humans. Heteromeric amino acid transporters maintain homeostasis of amino acid pools in various tissues and organs representing a unique group among members of the solute carrier superfamily. The neutral and basic amino acid transport complex (b [0,+] AT1-rBAT) is responsible for reabsorption of cystine and...
