Aspartate transport and citrate production in prostate luminal epithelial cells

Posted by admin on December 29th, 2009 No Comments

The low affinity L-aspartate transporter Na⁺-K⁺ ATPase and a citrate transporter are represented at the apical membrane. The high affinity L-aspartate transporter and glucose transporters are represented in the basal membrane.
