Genomic organization, promoter activity, and expression of the human choline transporter-like protein 1.
Choline transporter-like (CTL) proteins of the CTL1 family are novel transmembrane proteins implicated in choline transport for phospholipid synthesis. In this study, we characterized the 5'-flanking region of the human (h)CTL1 gene and examined some of the possible mechanisms of its regulation, including promoter activity, splicing, and expression. The transcription start site of the hCTL1 gen...
متن کاملNectin-like 4 Complexes with Choline Transporter-like Protein-1 and Regulates Schwann Cell Choline Homeostasis and Lipid Biogenesis in Vitro.
Nectin-like 4 (NECL4, CADM4) is a Schwann cell-specific cell adhesion molecule that promotes axo-glial interactions. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that NECL4 is necessary for proper peripheral nerve myelination. However, the molecular mechanisms that are regulated by NECL4 and affect peripheral myelination currently remain unclear. We used an in vitro approach to begin identifying som...
متن کاملCholine transporter 1 maintains cholinergic function in choline acetyltransferase haploinsufficiency.
Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), the enzyme that synthesizes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), is thought to be present in kinetic excess in cholinergic neurons. The rate-limiting factor in ACh production is the provision of choline to ChAT. Cholinergic neurons are relatively unique in their expression of the choline transporter 1 (CHT1), which exhibits high-affinity for choline and ca...
متن کاملCharacterization of CDw92 as a member of the choline transporter-like protein family regulated specifically on dendritic cells.
CDw92 is a 70-kDa surface protein broadly expressed on leukocytes and endothelial cells. In this manuscript, we present the molecular cloning of the CDw92 molecule by using a highly efficient retroviral expression cloning system. Sequence analysis of the CDw92 cDNA revealed a length of 2679 bp. The 1959-bp open reading frame encodes a protein of 652 amino acids. Computational analysis of the CD...
متن کاملPT712. Functional expression of choline transporter like-protein 1 (CTL1) and CTL2 in human brain microvascular endothelial cells
In this study, we examined the molecular and functional characterization of choline transporter in human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hBMECs). Choline uptake into hBMECs was a saturable process that was mediated by a Na(+)-independent, membrane potential and pH-dependent transport system. The cells have two different [(3)H]choline transport systems with Km values of 35.0 ± 4.9 μM and ...
