Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the transporter proteins in order to clarify molecular mechanisms of vitamin transport. We have demonstrated that ABCB6 and ABCG5/ABCG8 transport vitamin B12 and vitamin K respectively and that NPC1L1 binds vitamin E, vitamin K, and siphonaxanthin. These findings suggest that ABCG5/ABCG8 and NPC1L1 may play important roles in regulation of hydrophobic vitamins absorption.
