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 …

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 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 …

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 …

The water-soluble vitamin B2 (riboflavin, RF) is an essential micronutrient for normal cell
function and survival. Recent studies have identified a role for the human riboflavin …

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

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 …

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 …

The retention and cellular internalization of drug delivery systems and theranostics for
cancer therapy can be improved by targeting molecules. Since an increased uptake of …

Abstract Riboflavin (vitamin B2), a water‐soluble vitamin, is an essential nutrient in higher
organisms as it is not endogenously synthesised, with requirements being met principally by …
