Na(+)-independent transport (uniport) of amino acids and glucose in mammalian cells.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Nov 1994

Kakuda D K, MacLeod C L

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances have made possible the isolation of the genes and their cDNAs encoding Na(+)-independent amino acid transporters. Two classes of amino acid 'uniporters' have been isolated. One class contains the mCAT (murine cationic amino acid transporter) gene family that encodes proteins predicted to span the membrane 12-14 times and exhibits structural properties similar to the GLUT (glucose transporter)...
