In panel A, oocytes were injected with water (0), or cRNA for MCT1 (1) in the absence or presence (A) of antisense cRNA against basigin and cRNA for rat basigin (B). Western blots are shown for the crude plasma membrane fraction using both MCT1 and basigin antibodies. In panel B rates of L-lactate (30 mM) transport into oocytes measured using BCECF fluorescence are shown as means±SEM of 5–8 separate oocytes. Where indicated, antisense (AS) against basigin as well as the cRNA for WT-, E218Q- or E218R-basigin was co-injected with the MCT1 cRNA.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "The role of charged residues in the transmembrane helices of monocarboxylate transporter 1 and its ancillary protein basigin in determining plasma membrane expression and catalytic activity"</p><p></p><p>Molecular Membrane Biology 2006;23(6):486-498.</p><p>Published online 13 Dec 2006</p><p>PMCID:PMC2409183.</p><p></p
