Here we focus on two transporters with a high need for conformation-specific binders for the screening of small molecule therapeutics, namely the equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1, SLC29A1) that is involved in ischemia and acts as a biomarker in pancreatic cancer (Yang and Leung, 2015), as well as on the glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1, SLC6A9) that plays an important role in diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system (Harvey and Yee, 2013) (Figure 5A, Figure 6A). This evidence concerns the gene SLC29A1 and pancreatic neoplasm.
