7
Q

What type of transport is this?

A

An electrogenic antiporter, it moved cationic amino acids in and effluxes neutral amino acids.

Q

How are the dibasic amino acids transported across the basolateral membrane?

A

By y+L. This is sodium dependent. It is electroneutral as the positive amino acid is exchanged for a sodium, and a neutral amino acid.

Q

Why is lysinuric protein intolerance worse than cystinuria?

A

Because the dibasic amino acids are trapped inside the cell as they cant cross the BLM.

16
Q

What is B0

A

Electrogenic amino acid transporter than brings sodium in too. Also called BOAT1

17
Q

What disorder is BOAT1 defective in?

A

Hartnup disease.

18
Q

What is niacin?

A

The precurser for tryptophan

19
Q

Is sodium important for transport of alanine?

A

Yes, alanine is a neutral amino acid so it transported by the sodium dependent B0 system

20
Q

Glycine and proline are absorbed by

A

PAT1

21
Q

A general amino acid urea like Fanconi syndrome shows what in the urine?

A

Proline

22
Q

The R240Q residue of BOAT1 sits where?

A

on the outside of the protein distant from the catalytic site but used for linking with co-expressed proteins.

23
Q

What protein does BOAT1 attach to?

A

ACE2
