Proteoliposomes were pre-loaded internally with various substrates (concentration, 20 mM). Transport was started by the external addition of 50 µM [14C]aspartate or 200 µM [14C]glutamate and terminated after 30 s (citrin and its CTD) or 1 min (aralar1 and its CTD). Similar results were obtained in at least three independent experiments for each carrier investigated.
