The glutamate/cystine xCT antiporter antagonizes glutamine metabolism and reduces nutrient flexibility
As noted by Warburg, many cancer cells depend on the consumption of glucose. We performed a genetic screen to identify factors responsible for glucose addiction and recovered the two subunits of the xCT antiporter (system x(c)(−)), which plays an antioxidant role by exporting glutamate for cystine....
