Nucleoside transporter
{{Short description|Transport protein that transports nucleosides across cell membranes}}
{{Purinergic signalling}}
Nucleoside transporters (NTs) are a group of membrane transport proteins which transport nucleoside substrates like adenosine across the membranes of cells and/or vesicles.{{cite journal | vauthors = Molina-Arcas M, Casado FJ, Pastor-Anglada M | title = Nucleoside transporter proteins | journal = Current Vascular Pharmacology | volume = 7 | issue = 4 | pages = 426–34 | date = October 2009 | pmid = 19485885 | url = http://www.bentham-direct.org/pages/content.php?CVP/2009/00000007/00000004/002AD.SGM | archive-url = https://archive.today/20130113054147/http://www.bentham-direct.org/pages/content.php?CVP/2009/00000007/00000004/002AD.SGM | url-status = usurped | archive-date = 2013-01-13 }} There are two known types of nucleoside transporters, concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNTs; SLC28) and equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs; SLC29), as well as possibly a yet-unidentified vesicular transporter.
