2.A.40.6.2
Ca2+/Mg2+-dependent L-ascorbate:Na+ symporter, SVCT2; Na+:ascorbate = 2:1; binding order: Na+, ascorbate, Na+ (Na+ increases the affinity for ascorbate); Ca2+/Mg2+ are required for function) (Godoy et al., 2007; Bürzle et al. 2013). SVCT2-GLUT1-mediated ascorbic acid transport pathway in rat dental pulp has been studied, and its effects during wound healing have been described (Ohkura et al. 2023).
