Riboflavin or vitamin B2 is one of the constituents of energy drinks. Although this compound
is known to be absorbed in the intestine and that it circulates throughout the body and is …

Absorption of riboflavin is mediated by transporter (s). However, a mammalian riboflavin
transporter has yet to be identified. In the present study, the novel human and rat riboflavin …

The first biochemical and spectroscopic characterization of a purified membrane transporter
for riboflavin (vitamin B 2) is presented. The riboflavin transporter RibU from the bacterium …

Riboflavin transporter (RFT) 2 has recently been identified as a transporter that may be,
mainly based on the functional characteristics of its rat ortholog (rRFT2), involved in the …

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is transported across the biological membrane into
various organs by transport systems. Riboflavin transporter RFVT3 is expressed in the small …

We have newly identified rat riboflavin transporter 2 (rRFT2) and its human orthologue
(hRFT2), and carried out detailed functional characterization of rRFT2. The mRNA of rRFT2 …

Carriers involved in riboflavin transport have generally been presumed to be localized in the
upper small intestine. However, using a closed loop technique, we found that in the rat colon …

We isolated cDNA coding a new human riboflavin transporter (hRFT) 3, which exhibits 86.7
and 44.1% amino acid identity with hRFT1 and hRFT2, respectively. It was predicted to have …

The human riboflavin (RF) transporter-3 (hRFVT-3; product of the SLC52A3 gene) plays an
essential role in the intestinal RF absorption process and is expressed exclusively at the …

Background Riboflavin (RF) is essential for normal cellular metabolic activities. Human cells
obtain RF from their surroundings via a carrier-mediated process that involves RF …
