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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The intestinal absorption process of vitamin B2 (riboflavin, RF) is carrier-mediated, and all
three known human RF transporters, ie, hRFVT-1,-2, and-3 (products of the SLC52A1, 2 & 3 …

Background Uptake of riboflavin (RF) by intestinal epithelial cells occurs via a specific carrier-
mediated process that involves the apically localized RF transporter-3 (RFVT3). Previous …
