A new case of sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter defect occurring as a life‐threatening condition responsive to early vitamin supplementation and literature review [PDF]
Background Biallelic pathogenic variants in SLC5A6 resulting in sodium‐dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) defect have recently been described as a vitamin‐responsive inborn error of metabolism mimicking biotinidase deficiency.

Biotin-mediated drug delivery: does the biotin transporter mediate uptake of biotin conjugates? [PDF]
Sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) is a biotin transporter over-expressed in various types of cancer cells and is commonly studied for targeted drug delivery using biotin conjugates.

Management and outcome of different types of ventricular tachycardia associated with hypokalemia [PDF]
Background: Hypokalemia is a potentially reversible cause of ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTAs) such as polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (PMVT/VF) and sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT).

Biotin conjugates in targeted drug delivery: is it mediated by a biotin transporter, a yet to be identified receptor, or (an)other unknown mechanism(s)? [PDF]
Conjugation of drugs with biotin is a widely studied strategy for targeted drug delivery. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies through H3-biotin competition experiments conclude with the presence of a free carboxylic acid being essential for

Non-revascularized chronic total occlusions impact on substrate and post-ablation results in drug-refractory electrical storm [PDF]
Background and aimsThere is limited data concerning the effect of non-revascularized chronic total occlusions (NR-CTOs) after VT ablation. This study sought to evaluate the impact of NR-CTOs after ablation for electrical storm (ES).MethodsPost-hoc ...

Uptake of biotin by Chlamydia Spp. through the use of a bacterial transporter (BioY) and a host-cell transporter (SMVT). [PDF]
Chlamydia spp. are obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterial pathogens that cause disease in humans and animals. Minor variations in metabolic capacity between species have been causally linked to host and tissue tropisms.

Human Embryonic Kidney HEK293 Cells as a Model to Study SMVT-Independent Transport of Biotin and Biotin-Furnished Nanoparticles in Targeted Therapy. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of human embryonic kidney HEK293 cells as a model of normal cells in biotin-mediated therapy. The expression and role of sodium multivitamin transporter (SMVT) in the uptake and accumulation of free biotin, as well as cationic and neutral biotinylated PAMAM dendrimers of the fourth generation ...

The Importance of Biotinylation for the Suitability of Cationic and Neutral Fourth-Generation Polyamidoamine Dendrimers as Targeted Drug Carriers in the Therapy of Glioma and Liver Cancer [PDF]
In this study, we hypothesized that biotinylated and/or glycidol-flanked fourth-generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM G4) dendrimers could be a tool for efficient drug transport into glioma and liver cancer cells.
