Sodium-Coupled vitamin C transportersMeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : Sodium-Coupled vitamin C transporters;
MeSH definition : Membrane transport proteins that actively co-transport ASCORBIC ACID and sodium ions
across the CELL MEMBRANE. Dietary absorption of VITAMIN C is highly dependent upon
this class of transporters and a subset of SODIUM GLUCOSE TRANSPORTERS which transport
the oxidized form of vitamin C, DEHYDROASCORBIC ACID.;
MeSH synonym : Sodium-Dependent vitamin C transporter; sodium dependent vitamin C transporter; sodium coupled vitamin C transporters;
MeSH hyponym : sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 1; sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter 2; Sodium Dependent Vitamin C Transporter 1; SVCT 1, Ascorbic Acid Transporter; SLC23A1 Transporter; Transporter, SLC23A1; Solute Carrier Family 23 (Nucleobase Transporters), Member 1; Sodium Dependent Vitamin C Transporter 2; Solute Carrier Family 23 (Nucleobase Transporters), Member 2; SVCT 2, Ascorbic Acid Transporter; SLC23A2 Transporter; Transporter, SLC23A2;
