General description

2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid is a potential large amino acid transporters inhibitor. It may suppress tumor progression and apoptosis.

Application


  • Thyroid Hormone Transporters in a Human Placental Cell Model.: This study investigates the role of 2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid in the transport of thyroid hormones in placental cells, offering insights that could improve understanding of fetal development and maternal health (Chen et al., 2022).

  • Metabolic adaptations to hypoxia in the neonatal mouse forebrain can occur independently of the transporters SLC7A5 and SLC3A2.: Research explores how 2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid affects metabolic responses to hypoxia in neonatal brain development, providing a foundation for future studies on brain health and neurodevelopment (Fitzgerald et al., 2021).

  • Hemocompatible LAT1-inhibitor can induce apoptosis in cancer cells without affecting brain amino acid homeostasis.: This article assesses the potential of 2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid as a selective inhibitor that could lead to new treatments for cancer while preserving critical brain functions (Markowicz-Piasecka et al., 2020).

  • Regulation of Melanogenesis by the Amino Acid Transporter SLC7A5.: Research demonstrates the utility of 2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid in regulating skin pigmentation processes, which could have implications for disorders related to pigmentation (Gaudel et al., 2020).

  • Structure of the human LAT1-4F2hc heteromeric amino acid transporter complex.: This study utilizes 2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid to elucidate the structure of a key amino acid transporter, which is crucial for understanding nutrient uptake and its implications in various diseases (Yan et al., 2019).


Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid (BCH) is a Na(+)-independent system L specific substrate used with other system specific substrates such as the system A specific substrate α-(methylamino) isobutyric acid and system N specific substrate L-glutamic acid gamma-monohydroxamate to help identify, differentiate and characterize amino acid transport systems in cells.
