Abstract
Expression of putative amino acid transport proteins is usually assume d to be associated with expression of a single component of transport. It is shown in this report, however, that murine cationic amino acid transporter (mCAT) expression in Xenopus oocytes is associated in impo rtant instances with expression of more than one kinetically distingui shable transport process. Accurate knowledge of the kinetics of transp ort continues, therefore, to be needed to understand how transport pro teins function.
