The human SLC52A1 gene encodes the riboflavin transporter-1 (RFVT-1), a plasma
membrane protein that transports vitamin B2 (riboflavin, RF) into cells, and thus, plays a role …

The human riboflavin (RF) transporter-3 (product of the SLC52A3 gene) plays an important
role in intestinal RF absorption. Our aims in this study were to identify the minimal 5 …

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) acts as an intermediary during various biochemical oxidation–
reduction reactions in the liver. Hepatic riboflavin homeostasis is suggested to be …

Transport of riboflavin (RF) across both the brush border membrane (BBM) and basolateral
membrane (BLM) of the polarized enterocyte occurs via specific carrier-mediated …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Riboflavin, a water-soluble vitamin also known as vitamin B2, is essential for normal cellular
functions. Riboflavin transporters play important roles in its homeostasis. Recently, three …

Background/Aim: Riboflavin transport in enterocytes is mediated by three translocators:
RFVT3 located on the apical membrane, and RFVT1 and RFVT2 on the basolateral …

Background: the SLC52A2 gene encodes for the riboflavin transporter 2 (RFVT2). This
transporter is ubiquitously expressed. It mediates the transport of Riboflavin across cell …
