  2. 6. Characterization of Amino Acid Transporters : Transporters expressed in the central nervous system belonging to the Solute Carrier family SLC38

    Author : Sofie Victoria Hellsten; Robert Fredriksson; Gether Ulrik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Solute carriers; amino acid transporter; SLC38 family; SLC38A8; SNAT8; SLC38A10; SNAT10; SLC38A9; SNAT9; amino acid starvation; AAR; mTORC1; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : In cells and organelles transporters are responsible for translocation of amino acids, sugars and nucleotides among others. In the central nervous system (CNS), amino acid transporters can function as neurotransmitter transporters and nutrient sensors. READ MORE

    Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract (GIT) regulates nutrient uptake, secretes hormones and has a crucial gut flora and enteric nervous system. Of relevance for these functions are the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and the solute carriers (SLCs). READ MORE

  5. 8. The Biological Importance of the Amino Acid Transporter SLC38A10 : Characterization of a Knockout Mouse

    Author : Frida A. Lindberg; Robert Fredriksson; Erika Roman; Karin Nordenankar; Vootele Vöikar; Uppsala universitet; []

    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

  6. 9. In vitro and in silico prediction of drug-drug interactions with transport proteins

    Author : Gustav Ahlin; Per Artursson; Christel Bergström; Johan Karlsson; Jörg König; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Solute carrier; SLC transporter; OCT1; Organic cation transporter 1; SLC22A1; OATP1B1; SLCO1B1; Organic anion transporting peptide 1B1; Drug transport; Active transport; Genetic polymorphism; Cell lines; Gene expression; Multivariate data analysis; OPLS; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics; Biopharmaceutics; biofarmaci;

    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

  7. 10. Determining Ligand- and Lipid- Interactions of SLC Transporters

    Author : Yurie Chatzikyriakidou; David Drew; Robert Fredriksson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Solute carrier transporter; nucleotide-sugar transporter; SLC35; sodium proton exchanger; SLC9B2; thermal stability assay; membrane transport; Synaptic vesicle protein 2; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    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.
