    Abstract : Solute carriers consist of over 400 genes and 66 subfamilies and are the largest group of membrane bound transporters. They facilitate movement of many molecules through cells and organelles and are crucial for upholding many key functions in the human body. They are also involved in the pathophysiology of several diseases. READ MORE

  3. 2. Co-evolutional anaylsis of the Na+,K+-ATPase’s β-subunit dimerization

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Sebastian Bauer; [2023]
    Keywords : Na ; K -ATPase NKA ; Co-evolution; Dimerization; Direct coupling analysis DCA ; Molecular dynamic MD simulation; Contact filtering; Mapping; Na ; K -ATPas NKA ; Samevolution; Dimerisering; Direkt kopplingsanalys DKA ; Molekylär dynamisk MD simulering; Kontaktfiltrering; Kartläggning;

    Abstract : Does the active membrane transporter, Na+,K+-ATPase dimerize? If it does, whatis the functional benefit? Does it increase or decrease the turnover rate? Theseare still unanswered questions and current research topics. Previous studies havedemonstrated dimerizations in closely related proteins of the P-type ATPase family. READ MORE

  4. 3. Lactate as a signaling molecule : A potential role in controlling exercise induced adaptations in human skeletal muscle

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Fabian Nordström; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction The lactate molecule has a key role in human energy metabolism, particularly in skeletal muscle: acting as a buffer within the muscle cell enabling glycolysis to continue during high energy demand, as well as acting as an energy shuttle between cells. The lactate molecule has also lately been shown to act as a signaling molecule in non-human models acting as a signaling molecule regulating the transcriptional process, potentially controlling the expression of several important metabolic proteins.

  5. 4. Designing the Superplant: Increasing Lipid Signaling for Enhanced Phosphorus Uptake

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi; Lunds universitet/Beräkningskemi

    Author : Louise Jedemark; [2021]
    Keywords : Lipid flippases; Arabidopsis; Yeast; Transport biology; Applied Biochemistry; Tillämpad biokemi; Biology and Life Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Phosphate is fundamental for optimal growth and reproduction for plants. However, due to low solubility, not all phosphorus in the soil is available to the plant. It has recently been discovered that plants can take up complex phosphate-containing organic compounds, such as phospholipids. READ MORE

  6. 5. Functional characterization of the SLC38 transporters SNAT6, SNAT8 and SNAT10 using CRISPR-Cas9 knockout in vitro

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för farmaceutisk biovetenskap

    Author : Alfred Holmberg; [2020]
    Keywords : SNAT6; SNAT8; SNAT10; SLC38; SLC38a6; SLC38a8; SLC38a10; CRISPR-Cas9; crispr; glutamate-glutamine cycle; ggc; glutamate; glutamine; gaba; hek293;

    Abstract : There are currently over 430 known SLC transporters, over 30% of which have an unknown function. Compared to other transporter gene families, the SLC genes are relatively understudied with many orphan genes. READ MORE
