Human Glutamine Transporter Study May Generate Leads for Drug Development

Researchers at the University of Groningen say they have used cryo-electron microscopy to elucidate the structure of the human glutamine transporter ASCT2, which may generate leads for drug development. The results (“ Cryo-EM structure of the human neutral amino acid transporter ASCT2 ”) are published in  Nature Structural & Molecular Biology. “ Human ASCT2 belongs to the SLC1 family of secondary transporters and is specific for the transport of sma
