Nucleoside transporters are proteins that play a crucial role in the transport of nucleosides, which are essential molecules involved in nucleic acid synthesis and energy metabolism. These transporters transport nucleosides across cell membranes, regulating their intracellular levels and ensuring proper nucleotide synthesis and cellular functions. Dysfunction in nucleoside transporters has been linked to various diseases, including cancer and genetic disorders. Research in this area aims to understand the mechanisms of nucleoside transport, identify new transporters, and develop targeted therapies for diseases associated with nucleoside transporter dysfunction.
