1. The Biological Importance of the Amino Acid Transporter SLC38A10 : Characterization of a Knockout Mouse
Abstract : The biggest group of transporters, the solute carriers (SLCs), has more than 400 members, and about 30% of these are still orphan. In order to decipher their biological function and possible role in disease, there is a need for characterization of these. READ MORE

2. Characterization of Centrally Expressed Solute Carriers : Histological and Functional Studies with Transgenic Mice
Abstract : The Solute Carrier (SLC) superfamily is the largest group of membrane-bound transporters, currently with 456 transporters in 52 families. Much remains unknown about the tissue distribution and function of many of these transporters. READ MORE

3. Determining Ligand- and Lipid- Interactions of SLC Transporters
Abstract : Solute carrier transporters (SLCs) mediate the inter- and intra- cellular trafficking of a plethora of substrates and are essential to cell homeostasis. Despite their importance to human physiology and their potential as therapeutic targets, many SLCs are considered orphans as the physiological substrate has not been experimentally determined.

4. In vitro and in silico prediction of drug-drug interactions with transport proteins
Abstract : Drug transport across cells and cell membranes in the human body is crucial for the pharmacological effect of drugs. Active transport governed by transport proteins plays an important role in this process. A vast number of transport proteins with a wide tissue distribution have been identified during the last 15 years. READ MORE

5. Atypical Solute Carriers : Identification, evolutionary conservation, structure and histology of novel membrane-bound transporters
Abstract : Solute carriers (SLCs) constitute the largest family of membrane-bound transporter proteins in humans, and they convey transport of nutrients, ions, drugs and waste over cellular membranes via facilitative diffusion, co-transport or exchange. Several SLCs are associated with diseases and their location in membranes and specific substrate transport makes them excellent as drug targets. READ MORE
