Abstract:
ASCT2 is a Na+-dependent neutral amino acid transporter in brush-border membrane of intestinal epithelial cells.The activity accounts for the majority of intestinal luminal neutral amino acid absorption,such as alanine,serine,cysteine,threonine,glutamine,asparagine and so on.The study about molecular and functional characteristics of ASCT2 will help to the understanding of bowel function,and offer the potential for developing new treatments for short bowel syndrome and other bowel dysfunction conditions.
