SNAT7 is the primary lysosomal glutamine exporter required for extracellular protein-dependent growth of cancer cells [Biochemistry]

Lysosomes degrade cellular components sequestered by autophagy or extracellular material internalized by endocytosis and phagocytosis. The macromolecule building blocks released by lysosomal hydrolysis are then exported to the cytosol by lysosomal transporters, which remain undercharacterized. In this study, we designed an in situ assay of lysosomal amino acid export based...
