Urate transporters, GLUT9 and URAT1, which are believed to be related with reduction of oxidative stress, were located on apical and basal cytoplasmic membranes of choroid plexus epithelium (Nerosci Lett 2017, 659, 99-103). An efflux transporter of iron which is related to oxidative damage, ferroportin, as well as hepcidin and hephaestin were located in the cytoplasm of choroid plexus epithelium (Neuropathol 2020, 40, 75-83). In addition, sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), through which glucose is transported based on sodium concentration gradient, was located in the cytoplasm of choroid plexus epithelium (Neuropathol 2020, in press).
