Article Title: Hartnup disease-causing SLC6A19 mutations lead to B0AT1 aberrant trafficking and ACE2 mis-localisation implicating the endoplasmic reticulum protein quality control

Figure Lengend Snippet: The 9 missense mutations co-localize with the ER marker. (A) B0AT1-WT shows plasma membrane localization with no ER retention. (B–J) Immuno-cytochemistry images of B0AT1 mutants (SLC6A19) generated via site-directed mutagenesis. The mutants show ER retention, confirmed by co-localization with Calnexin (an ER marker), while H-Ras serves as the plasma membrane marker. Immunofluorescence images were captured with a Nikon eclipse i80 at magnification of ×100. Scale bar = 50 μm.
Article Snippet: Invitae Labs also reports that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SLC6A19 protein function, PolyPhen predicts it to be “benign (0.24)”.
