Functional Characterization of the Solute Carrier LAT-1 (SLC7A5/SLC3A2) in Human Brain Capillary Endothelial Cells with Rapid UPLC-MS/MS Quantification of Intracellular Isotopically Labelled L-Leucine
The solute carrier L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT-1/SLC7A5) is a viable target for drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) and tumors due to its high abundance at the blood–brain barrier and in tumor tissue. LAT-1 is only localized on the cell surface as a heterodimer with CD98, whic...
