Cloning and Functional Characterization of the Proton-Coupled Electrogenic Folate Transporter and Analysis of Its Expression in Retinal Cell Types

Abstract

This is the first report on the expression of PCFT in the retina. All cell layers of the retina express this transporter. Mouse PCFT, cloned from retina, mediates H(+)-coupled electrogenic transport of folate and its derivatives.
