Mhp1 is a transmembrane protein bellowing to the nucleobase-cation-symport-1 (NCS1) transporter family from Microbacterium liquefaciens. It allows the sodium dependent income of indolyl methyl- and benzyl-hydantoins (''Figure 1'') in the cell. Those are part of a salvage metabolic pathway leading to their conversion in amino acids. | Mhp1 is a transmembrane protein bellowing to the nucleobase-cation-symport-1 (NCS1) transporter family from Microbacterium liquefaciens.

Dysfunction of members of the transporters family in humans can lead to diseases including neurological and kidney disorders. Other members are implicated in cancer as they can supply tumor cells with nutrients, cause drug resistance and/or provide a means of treatment. | |||
