The x(c)(−) cystine/glutamate antiporter: a mediator of pancreatic cancer growth with a role in drug resistance
The x(c)(−) cystine transporter enhances biosynthesis of glutathione, a tripeptide thiol important in drug resistance and cellular defense against oxidative stress, by enabling cellular uptake of cystine, a rate-limiting precursor. Because it is known to regulate glutathione levels and growth of var...
