Regulation of amino acid and glucose transporters in endothelial and smooth muscle cells.

abstract：:Molecular research on ion channels has demonstrated that many of these integral membrane proteins associate with partner proteins, often versatile in their function, or even assemble into stable macromolecular complexes that ensure specificity and proper rate of the channel-mediated signal transduction.
