  1. 1. Solute Carriers in Metabolism : Regulation of known and putative solute carriers in the central nervous system

    Author : Emilia Lekholm; Robert Fredriksson; Helgi B. Schiöth; David Drew; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solute Carriers; transporter; amino acid starvation; glucose metabolism; MFS; SV2; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Solute carriers (SLCs) are membrane-bound transporter proteins, important for nutrient, ion, drug and metabolite transport across membranes. A quarter of the human genome codes for membrane-bound proteins, and SLCs make up the largest group of transporter proteins. READ MORE

  2. 2. Characterization of Novel Solute Carriers in Humans, Mice and Flies : Solute Carriers in a Broad and Narrow Perspective

    Author : Mikaela Ceder; Robert Fredriksson; Anita Öst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Solute carrier; SLC; Putative SLCs; Major facilitator superfamily; MFS; Drosophila melanogaster; Glucose metabolism; UNC93A; CG4928; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science;

    Abstract : The solute carrier family is the largest family of membrane-bound transporters in humans, with 430 members divided into 65 subfamilies. They transport various substrates across lipid barriers and are vital for absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion in all cell types in the body. READ MORE

  3. 3. Personality, Health and Mortality of Workers in a PVC Production Plant in Sweden A longitudinal study

    Author : Margareta Ardeberg; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mortality; disease; recovery; personality alterations; solvents exposure; PVC; polyvinyl chloride; Sjöbring personality psychology; behavioural toxicology; MNT scale; MFS scale; Eysenck; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : A longitudinal study was initiated in a PVC production plant in 1967. It was repeated in 1987. A cohort of 101 workers was followed. The aim of the 1967 study was, after a heavy rise in absenteeism and sick leave, to analyze perceptions of work environment and health. READ MORE

  4. 4. Congenital ectopia lentis : diagnosis and treatment

    Author : Tiina Rysä Konradsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Congenital ectopia lentis (EL) is an ocular condition, which typically causes a high grade of refractive errors, mainly myopia and astigmatism. These might be difficult to compensate for, especially in children, who might develop ametropic amblyopia. READ MORE

  5. 5. Atypical Solute Carriers : Identification, evolutionary conservation, structure and histology of novel membrane-bound transporters

    Author : Emelie Perland; Robert Fredriksson; Helgi Schiöth; Åsa Mackenzie; Sonchita Bagchi; Carsten Uhd Nielsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Major facilitator superfamily; solute carrier; transporter; protein expression; mRNA expression; phylogenetic clustering; orthologues; co-expression; subcellular location; nutrition.; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    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
