Identification of TgENT1 as the TgUUT1 Uracil/Uridine Transporter of <em>Toxoplasma gondii</em>

2026-01-29

Abstract excerpt

The protozoan pathogen Toxoplasma gondii is responsible for toxoplasmosis a disease that can be deadly in immunocompromised patients and the developing fetus during pregnancy. Current treatments are widely considered to be suboptimal. We have recently reported that 5-fluoropyrimidines have highly promising anti-toxoplasmosis effects and are taken up by the parasite by a high affinity uracil/uridine transporter, Tg...
