Target type: biologicalprocess
The directed movement of amino acids, organic acids containing one or more amino substituents, into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
Amino acid transport is a fundamental biological process that ensures the uptake and delivery of essential building blocks for protein synthesis, cellular signaling, and other vital functions. This intricate process involves specialized membrane proteins known as amino acid transporters that facilitate the movement of amino acids across cellular membranes. These transporters exhibit remarkable selectivity, recognizing and transporting specific amino acids while excluding others. The mechanism of amino acid transport can be broadly categorized into two main types: active transport and passive transport.
Active transport systems utilize energy, often in the form of ATP, to move amino acids against their concentration gradient, from areas of low concentration to areas of high concentration. This process is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, ensuring adequate levels of essential amino acids even when external concentrations are low. Examples of active amino acid transporters include the sodium-dependent transporters (e.g., the sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter, SNAT), which utilize the electrochemical gradient of sodium ions to drive amino acid uptake.
Passive transport systems, on the other hand, do not require energy expenditure. They rely on the concentration gradient of amino acids, allowing them to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. This type of transport is facilitated by membrane proteins that provide a pathway for amino acid movement across the membrane. Examples of passive amino acid transporters include the facilitative amino acid transporters (e.g., LAT1), which allow the rapid diffusion of amino acids down their concentration gradients.
The specific mechanisms and regulation of amino acid transport vary depending on the type of amino acid, the cellular context, and the physiological conditions. These processes are finely tuned by a complex interplay of factors, including cellular metabolism, nutrient availability, and signaling pathways. Amino acid transport is essential for various biological functions, including:
* **Protein synthesis:** Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for a wide range of cellular processes.
* **Cellular signaling:** Certain amino acids, such as glutamate and GABA, act as neurotransmitters, playing crucial roles in neuronal communication and brain function.
* **Metabolic pathways:** Amino acids are involved in numerous metabolic pathways, providing precursors for the synthesis of various biomolecules, including hormones, nucleotides, and heme.
* **Nutrient absorption:** In the digestive tract, amino acids are absorbed from food and transported to the bloodstream, ensuring their delivery to various tissues.
* **Immune function:** Amino acids are critical for immune cell development and function, contributing to the body's defense against pathogens.
Disruptions in amino acid transport can lead to various pathological conditions. Defects in amino acid transporters can result in inherited metabolic disorders, such as cystinuria and Hartnup disease. Additionally, dysregulation of amino acid transport has been implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and other diseases.
In summary, amino acid transport is a vital biological process that ensures the efficient uptake and delivery of amino acids, essential building blocks for numerous cellular functions. This intricate process involves specialized membrane proteins that facilitate the movement of amino acids across cellular membranes, utilizing active or passive mechanisms. The regulation of amino acid transport is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and ensuring proper functioning of various physiological processes.'

| clozapine | clozapine : A benzodiazepine that is 5H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]diazepine substituted by a chloro group at position 8 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 11. It is a second generation antipsychotic used in the treatment of psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. Clozapine: A tricylic dibenzodiazepine, classified as an atypical antipsychotic agent. It binds several types of central nervous system receptors, and displays a unique pharmacological profile. Clozapine is a serotonin antagonist, with strong binding to 5-HT 2A/2C receptor subtype. It also displays strong affinity to several dopaminergic receptors, but shows only weak antagonism at the dopamine D2 receptor, a receptor commonly thought to modulate neuroleptic activity. Agranulocytosis is a major adverse effect associated with administration of this agent. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine; organochlorine compound | adrenergic antagonist; dopaminergic antagonist; EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor; environmental contaminant; GABA antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; xenobiotic |
| olanzapine | olanzapine : A benzodiazepine that is 10H-thieno[2,3-b][1,5]benzodiazepine substituted by a methyl group at position 2 and a 4-methylpiperazin-1-yl group at position 4. Olanzapine: A benzodiazepine derivative that binds SEROTONIN RECEPTORS; MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS; HISTAMINE H1 RECEPTORS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-1 RECEPTORS; and DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. It is an antipsychotic agent used in the treatment of SCHIZOPHRENIA; BIPOLAR DISORDER; and MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER; it may also reduce nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy. | benzodiazepine; N-arylpiperazine; N-methylpiperazine | antiemetic; dopaminergic antagonist; histamine antagonist; muscarinic antagonist; second generation antipsychotic; serotonergic antagonist; serotonin uptake inhibitor |
