Characterisation of Amino Acid Transport in Red Blood Cells of a Primitive vertebrate, the Pacific Hagfish (Eptatretus Stouti)
TL;DR: Intracellular amino acid levels and the characteristics of amino acid transport were investigated in red blood cells of a primitive vertebrate, the Pacific hagfish (Eptatretus stouti Lockington).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrobenzylthioinosine: an in vivo inhibitor of pig erythrocyte energy metabolism.
TL;DR: The data suggest that pig erythrocytes utilize plasma inosine as their physiological energy substrate, similar to other metabolic energy substrates used by humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of Nucleoside Analogs, Caffeine, and Nicotine with Human Concentrative Nucleoside Transporters 1 and 2 Stably Produced in a Transport-Defective Human Cell Line
TL;DR: Although hC NT1 and hCNT2 possess some overlap in transport of several uridine and adenosine analogs, they also exhibit distinct differences in capacity to interact with someAdenosine receptor ligands, adenosines-based drugs, and nicotine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleoside transport in human erythrocytes: nitrobenzylthioinosine binding and uridine transport activities have similar radiation target sizes
TL;DR: The results suggest that the nitrobenzylthioinosine-binding site (s) and the permeation site(s) of the transporter are present on the same transporter element.

TL;DR: The transportability profiles identified in this study should prove useful in the development of anticancer and antiviral therapies with nucleoside drugs that are permeants of members of the hCNT protein family.
