Identification of three cationic amino acid transporters in placental trophoblast: cloning, expression, and characterization of hCAT-1

The concentrative transfer of amino acids from maternal to fetal blood is essential to fetal growth and metabolism. Cationic amino acids are transported across the placental microvillous and basal membranes by multiple pathways which act to mediate maternal/fetal transport. To identify the cationic...
