The Role of Cystine/Glutamate Antiporter SLC7A11/xCT in the Pathophysiology of Cancer
SLC7A11/xCT is an antiporter that mediates the uptake of extracellular cystine in exchange for glutamate. Cystine is reduced to cysteine, which is a rate-limiting precursor in glutathione synthesis; a process that protects cells from oxidative stress and is, therefore, critical to cell growth, proli...
