Significance of System L Amino Acid Transporter 1 (LAT-1) and 4F2 Heavy Chain (4F2hc) Expression in Human Developing Intestines
To clarify the significance of expression of system L amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) and 4F2 heavy chain (4F2hc) in the developing intestine, immunohistochemical investigation and molecular analysis were performed in the human embryonic and/or fetal intestines, ranging from 28-30 days to 34-35 weeks gestation. The molecular analysis for the expression of LAT1 and 4F2hc mRNAs was done in the pu...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a membrane protein (y+L amino acid transporter-1) that associates with 4F2hc to encode the amino acid transport activity y+L. A candidate gene for lysinuric protein intolerance.
We have identified a new human cDNA (y+L amino acid transporter-1 (y+LAT-1)) that induces system y+L transport activity with 4F2hc (the surface antigen 4F2 heavy chain) in oocytes. Human y+LAT-1 is a new member of a family of polytopic transmembrane proteins that are homologous to the yeast high affinity methionine permease MUP1. Other members of this family, the Xenopus laevis IU12 and the hum...
متن کاملBronchopulmonary dysplasia impairs L-type amino acid transporter-1 expression in human and baboon lung.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is an inflammatory lung disorder common in premature infants who undergo mechanical ventilation with supplemental oxygen. Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) has been used to prevent experimental and clinical BPD. Earlier studies showed that NO effects in alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) are mediated by S-nitrosothiol uptake via L-type amino acid transporter-1 (LAT1). Bec...
متن کاملMethylmercury Uptake into BeWo Cells Depends on LAT2-4F2hc, a System L Amino Acid Transporter
The organic mercury compound methylmercury (MeHg) is able to target the fetal brain. However, the uptake of the toxicant into placental cells is incompletely understood. MeHg strongly binds to thiol-S containing molecules such as cysteine. This MeHg-l-cysteine exhibits some structural similarity to methionine. System L plays a crucial role in placental transport of essential amino acids such as...
متن کاملStructure-based ligand discovery for the Large-neutral Amino Acid Transporter 1, LAT-1.
The Large-neutral Amino Acid Transporter 1 (LAT-1)--a sodium-independent exchanger of amino acids, thyroid hormones, and prescription drugs--is highly expressed in the blood-brain barrier and various types of cancer. LAT-1 plays an important role in cancer development as well as in mediating drug and nutrient delivery across the blood-brain barrier, making it a key drug target. Here, we identif...
