Although the malfunction of transporters causes many diseases, the functions of a majority of transporters remain unknown. We aim to identify the new functions of transporters by utilizing a universal transport assay system, and to reveal the physiological and pathological roles of transporters for transporter-targeted drug discovery as first-in-class.<\/p>\n<h3>Keywords<\/h3>\n<p>Transporter, Neurotransmission, Drug Discovery, Nutrient<\/p>\n<h3>Site<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/~miyaji-t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.cc.okayama-u.ac.jp\/~miyaji-t\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/partners.okayama-u.ac.jp\/seeds-detail?id=414\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/partners.okayama-u.ac.jp\/seeds-detail?id=414<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Contact<\/h3>\n<p>Professor:MIYAJI Takaaki<br \/>\nE-mail:miyaji-t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42 alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/12\/at.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"18\">okayama-u.ac.jp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor: Takaaki Miyaji Transporters are membrane proteins responsible for the transport of neurot [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":19,"menu_order":148,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-102","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-28 07:44:44","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":555,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/102\/revisions\/555"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/19"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mdps.okayama-u.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
