Abstract excerpt
The low level of transcytosis is a unique feature of cerebrovascular endothelial cells (ECs), ensuring restrictive blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing 2a (MFSD2A) is a key regulator of the BBB function by suppressing caveolae-mediated transcytosis. However, the mechanisms regulating MFSD2A at the BBB have been barely explored. Here, we show that cerebrovascular...
