Imaging the L-type amino acid transporter-1 (LAT1) with Zr-89 immunoPET.
The L-type amino acid transporter-1 (LAT1, SLC7A5) is upregulated in a wide range of human cancers, positively correlated with the biological aggressiveness of tumors, and a promising target for both imaging and therapy. Radiolabeled amino acids such as O-(2-[(18)F]fluoroethyl)-L-tyrosine (FET) that...
