A Genome-Wide CRISPR/Cas9 Screen Reveals that Riboflavin Regulates Hydrogen Peroxide Entry into HAP1 Cells

Using a genetic screen, we discovered that riboflavin controls the entry of hydrogen peroxide into a white blood cell line. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a vitamin playing a role in controlling transport of a small molecule across the cell membrane.Extracellular hydrogen peroxide can...
