Although circulating estrone-3-sulfate is a major precursor of biologically active estrogen, permeation across the plasma membrane is unlikely to occur by diffusion because of the high hydrophilicity of the molecule. The object of this study was t...
OBJECTIVE: Organic cation/carnitine transporter, OCTN1 (SLC22A4) shows a relatively broad tissue distribution and transports organic cations in a pH-dependent manner. However, its physiological role remains to be clarified. To understand the physi...

In the present study, we have cloned the cDNA of ABCC13, a novel ABC transporter, from the cDNA library of adult human placenta. The ABCC13 gene spans approximately 70kb on human chromosome 21q11.2 and consists of 14 exons. The open reading frame ...
We have cloned a new mouse ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, Abcg4, from a complementary DNA (cDNA) library of mouse brain. The cloned Abcg4 cDNA encodes a protein consisting of 646 amino acids and including one ATP-binding cassette and six ...
