  2. 1. 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

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

    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

  5. 3. Unlocking the Role Of Orphan Solute Carrier SLC38A10 In Brain Metabolism : The SLC38A10 transporter in nutrient and metabolic regulation

    Author : Rekha Tripathi; Robert Fredriksson; Manuel Palacín; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Solute carrier; SLC38A10 transporter; SLC38 family; ER Golgi localization; Amino acid starvation; Nutrient sensing; mTOR signaling; Transcriptomic; Protein array; Metabolomics; Ingenuity Pathway Analysis; Farmaceutisk vetenskap; Pharmaceutical Science; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Membrane transporters are the primary gatekeepers of cells and regulate the transport of nutrients, metabolites, ions, water, and neurotransmitters into and across the human cells. The solute carrier transporters (SLCs) are the most prominent transporters, comprising 430 members divided into 65 subfamilies. READ MORE

  6. 4. Characterization of Amino Acid Transporters in the Brain : Molecular and Functional Studies of Members within the Solute Carrier Families SLC38 and SLC6

    Author : Maria Hägglund; Robert Fredriksson; Farrukh Chaudhry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amino acid transporter; Solute Carrier; Glutamine; Leucine; SNAT; B0AT; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Solute carriers (SLCs) comprise the largest group of transporters in humans and there are currently 52 SLC families. They are embedded in cellular membranes and transport numerous molecules; defects in many of the genes encoding SLCs have been connected to pathological conditions, and several SLCs are potential drug targets.
