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 …

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 …

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 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 …

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 …

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 …

Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin (vitamin B 2) required for the production of the flavin
cofactors FMN and FAD. Mammals are unable to synthesize riboflavin and need a dietary …
