Glutamine Uptake via SNAT6 and Caveolin Regulates Glutamine–Glutamate Cycle

SLC38A6 (SNAT6) is the only known member of the SLC38 family that is expressed exclusively in the excitatory neurons of the brain. It has been described as an orphan transporter with an unknown substrate profile, therefore very little is known about SNAT6. In this study, we addressed the substrate s...
