Uses
2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic Acid functions in the suppressive effect of I-type amino acid transporter 1 inhibition as therapeutic target on human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Also use in the design and preparation of KMH-233, selective and slowly reversible inhibitor of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) which potentiates antiproliferative drug efficacy in cancer cells
Definition
ChEBI: 2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid is a monoterpenoid.
General Description
2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid is a potential large amino acid transporters inhibitor. It may suppress tumor progression and apoptosis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
2-Amino-2-norbornanecarboxylic acid (BCH) is a Na(+)-independent system L specific substrate used with other system specific substrates such as the system A specific substrate α-(methylamino) isobutyric acid and system N specific substrate L-glutamic acid gamma-monohydroxamate to help identify, differentiate and characterize amino acid transport systems in cells.
