Choroid plexus LAT2 and SNAT3 as partners in CSF amino acid homeostasis maintenance
Abstract Background Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is mainly produced by the choroid plexus (CP) located in brain ventricles. Although derived from blood plasma, it is nearly protein-free (~ 250-fold less) and contains about 2–20-fold less free amino acids, with the exception of glutamine (Gln) which is...
