Normal functioning of the human body requires a balance between nutritional intake and
metabolism, and imbalances manifest as nutritional deficiencies or excess. Nutritional …

Riboflavin in its coenzyme forms, flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide, is
essential for multiple redox reactions necessary for energy production, antioxidant …

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 …

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 …

It has been 20 years since the publication of Chemistry of Protein Conjugation and Cross-
Linking. During this period, great advances have been made in the area of cross-linking of …

The primary role of the water-soluble vitamin B2, ie riboflavin, in cell biology is connected
with its conversion into FMN and FAD, the cofactors of a large number of dehydrogenases …

Today, early characterization of drug properties by the Biopharmaceutics Classification
System (BCS) has attracted significant attention in pharmaceutical discovery and …

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 …

Nine compounds are classified as water-soluble vitamins, eight B vitamins and one vitamin
C. The vitamins are mandatory for the function of numerous enzymes and lack of one or …

The appropriate intake and metabolism of vitamins and minerals are critical to maintaining
homeostasis. Imbalance in essential nutrients, either through dietary excess or deficiency or …
