Abstract: Abstract The human macular carotenoid transporter was firstly discovered using silkworm yellow-cocoon strains, known as Bombyx mori carotenoid selective transport system (BmCSTS). However, molecular mechanisms underlying the gene/protein expression and regulations in vivo remain elusive.… read more here.
