The amino-terminal domain, consisting of TM1–6, forms a horseshoe-shaped structure, surrounding TM7–9 of the carboxy-terminal domain. The two catalytic aspartate residues are located on the ...

Archaeal glutamate transporter homologs catalyze the coupled uptake of aspartate and three sodium ... Here, we report a crystal structure of the substrate-free transporter Glt Tk from Thermococcus ...

Aspartate plays important roles in the body, including in the lungs. As an amino acid, it’s one of the building blocks of proteins, crucial to the structure and function of lung cells.

Aspartic acid, also called aminosuccinic acid or aspartate, is a non-essential amino acid that is made naturally in the human body through dietary intake. Image ...

Researchers from the lab of Prof. Sarah-Maria Fendt (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues have uncovered that the availability of the amino acid aspartate is one reason why the lung is a frequent organ of ...
