| 1 | The plasma membrane sodium-vitamin C cotransporter 2 (SVCT2) is the primary mediator of vitamin C uptake in neurons. | Ascorbic Acid | solute carrier family 23 member 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | SVCT2 specifically transports ascorbate, the reduced form of vitamin C, which acts as a reducing agent. | Ascorbic Acid | solute carrier family 23 member 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | SVCT2 specifically transports ascorbate, the reduced form of vitamin C, which acts as a reducing agent. | Ascorbic Acid | solute carrier family 23 member 2 | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | We demonstrated that ascorbate uptake through SVCT2 was critical for the homeostasis of microglia, the resident myeloid cells of the CNS that are essential for proper functioning of the nervous tissue. | Ascorbic Acid | solute carrier family 23 member 2 | Homo sapiens |
