Expression of LAT family members in a variety of cancers was assessed using Pubmed to find published references (REF) and Oncomine (ONC) to detect significant upregulation (P < 0.05, fold change > 2) for each transporter. Oncomine numbers represent Datasets with Significant Upregulation/Total Number of Datasets.
