Abstract
Taurine is present in a variety of tissue and exhibits many important physiological functions in the cell. Although it is known that many tissues mediate taurine transport, its functions of taurine transport in bone have not been identified yet. In the present study, we investigated the expression of taurine transporter (TauT) and taurine uptake using mouse stromal ST2 cells and osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, which is bone related cells. Detection of TauT MRNA expression in these cells were performed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). (omitted)
