Thehuman estrogen receptor-positive breast adenocarcinoma cell line,MCF-7 (Michigan Cancer Foundation-7), was used in the present studyas we have recently reported the expression and function of LAT1 inthis cell line.21 Here, we quantified firstthe protein expression of SNAT1, SNAT2, SNAT4, and SNAT5 from theplasma membrane fractions with LC–MS/MS methods. This evidence concerns the gene SLC38A1 and breast adenocarcinoma.
