1 Hypoxanthine uptake and release by equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 (ENT2) of rat microvascular endothelial cells. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
2 Hypoxanthine uptake and release by equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 (ENT2) of rat microvascular endothelial cells. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
3 The equilibrative nucleoside transporter, ENT2, mediates the transfer of hypoxanthine into cells. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
4 We hypothesize that ENT2 also mediates the cellular release of hypoxanthine, which would limit the amount of intracellular hypoxanthine available for xanthine oxidase-mediated ROS production. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
5 We hypothesize that ENT2 also mediates the cellular release of hypoxanthine, which would limit the amount of intracellular hypoxanthine available for xanthine oxidase-mediated ROS production. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
6 Thus, ENT2 mediates both the influx and efflux of hypoxanthine. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
7 Inhibition of ENT2 in MVECs might be expected to increase the amount of intracellular hypoxanthine available for metabolism by xanthine oxidase and enhance the intracellular production of ROS. Hypoxanthine equilibrative nucleoside transporter 2 Rattus norvegicus
