Glucose Transport and Transporters in the Endomembranes [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Glucose is a basic nutrient in most of the creatures; its transport through biological membranes is an absolute requirement of life. This role is fulfilled by glucose transporters, mediating the transport of glucose by facilitated diffusion or by secondary active transport.

Transport Dynamics in a Glutamate Transporter Homologue [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 Glutamate transporters are integral membrane proteins that catalyse neurotransmitter uptake from the synaptic cleft into the cytoplasm of glial cells and neurons. Their mechanism of action involves transitions between extracellular (outward)-facing and intracellular (inward)-facing conformations, whereby substrate binding sites become accessible to ...

Evidence for Active Uptake and Deposition of Si-based Defenses in Tall Fescue
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Silicon (Si) is taken up from the soil as monosilicic acid by plant roots, transported to leaves and deposited as phytoliths, amorphous silica (SiO2) bodies, which are a key component of anti-herbivore defense in grasses.

Growth and Overall Health of Patients with SLC13A5 Citrate Transporter Disorder
Metabolites, 2021 We were interested in elucidating the non-neurologic health of patients with autosomal recessive SLC13A5 Citrate Transporter (NaCT) Disorder. Multiple variants have been reported that cause a loss of transporter activity, resulting in significant ...

ATP/ADP biosensor organoids for drug nephrotoxicity assessment
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Drug nephrotoxicity is a common healthcare problem in hospitalized patients and a major limitation during drug development. Multi-segmented kidney organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells may complement traditional cell culture and animal ...

A Node-Expressed Transporter OsCCX2 Is Involved in Grain Cadmium Accumulation of Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Excessive cadmium (Cd) accumulation in grains of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a risk to food security. The transporters in the nodes of rice are involved in the distribution of mineral elements including toxic elements to different tissues such as grains ...

Structural basis for mammalian nucleotide sugar transport
eLife, 2019 Nucleotide-sugar transporters (NSTs) are critical components of the cellular glycosylation machinery. They transport nucleotide-sugar conjugates into the Golgi lumen, where they are used for the glycosylation of proteins and lipids, and they then ...
