title: Amino acid transporters.
abstract: This review focuses on two main aspects of amino acid transport. One aspect is the role of the basic amino acid transporter gene in causing cystinuria, its functional properties, and its potential transport functions. The other is the regulation of amino acid transporters at the levels of information processing and cellular organization.
