Abstract

Amino acid transporters play an important role in supplying organic nutrients to cells. The expression of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) and its subunit 4F2 heavy chain (4F2hc) was evaluated to determine the alterations of these transporters in oral normal mucosa (ONM), oral precancerous lesion (OPL) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
