Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Cancer

Yoshikatsu Kanai focuses on Biochemistry, Amino acid, Transporter, Amino acid transporter and Organic anion transporter 1. His work carried out in the field of Biochemistry brings together such families of science as Molecular biology and Kidney. His Amino acid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Xenopus, Cystine, Stereochemistry and Peptide sequence.

As a part of the same scientific study, Yoshikatsu Kanai usually deals with the Transporter, concentrating on Lysinuric protein intolerance and frequently concerns with Subfamily. His study looks at the relationship between Amino acid transporter and topics such as Expression cloning, which overlap with Tryptophan, EF-Tu and Photo-reactive amino acid analog. His Organic anion transporter 1 study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Organic anion, Organic cation transport proteins, Efflux, Apical membrane and Symporter.

His most cited work include:

  • Knockout of Glutamate Transporters Reveals a Major Role for Astroglial Transport in Excitotoxicity and Clearance of Glutamate (2133 citations)
  • Primary structure and functional characterization of a high-affinity glutamate transporter (1214 citations)
  • Molecular identification of a renal urate anion exchanger that regulates blood urate levels. (1045 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Amino acid, Transporter, Amino acid transporter and Internal medicine. His work in Biochemistry covers topics such as Molecular biology which are related to areas like Cell growth. Yoshikatsu Kanai has included themes like Large Neutral Amino Acid-Transporter 1, Peptide sequence, Gene and Stereochemistry in his Amino acid study.

His research integrates issues of Tyrosine and Function in his study of Transporter. His Amino acid transporter study incorporates themes from Leucine, Cell culture, Cancer cell and Cell biology. His work in Internal medicine tackles topics such as Endocrinology which are related to areas like Gout.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (55.02%)
  • Amino acid (35.91%)
  • Transporter (27.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (55.02%)
  • Amino acid (35.91%)
  • Amino acid transporter (26.64%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Amino acid, Amino acid transporter, Transporter and Cancer research. L-Type Amino Acid Transporter, Tyrosine, Intracellular, Methionine and Signal transduction are the subjects of his Biochemistry studies. Yoshikatsu Kanai works in the field of Amino acid, focusing on System L in particular.

His Amino acid transporter study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phenylalanine, Cell biology, Pharmacology, In vivo and Adenocarcinoma. His Transporter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Transport protein, Leucine transport, Fetus, Structure–activity relationship and Oligopeptide. Yoshikatsu Kanai has researched Cancer research in several fields, including Pancreatic cancer, Tumor angiogenesis, Cell growth and Prostate cancer.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Impaired Amino Acid Transport at the Blood Brain Barrier Is a Cause of Autism Spectrum Disorder (130 citations)
  • Genome-wide association study of clinically defined gout identifies multiple risk loci and its association with clinical subtypes (99 citations)
  • Amino acid transporters revisited: New views in health and disease. (97 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine

Yoshikatsu Kanai mainly investigates Amino acid, Biochemistry, Amino acid transporter, Transporter and Internal medicine. He interconnects Cancer research, Epitope, Glycan, Protein structure and Placenta in the investigation of issues within Amino acid. His Amino acid transporter research incorporates themes from mTORC1, Pathology, CD34, Cell biology and In vivo.

The concepts of his Transporter study are interwoven with issues in Transport protein, Fetus, Nucleobase and Functional identification. His studies deal with areas such as Endocrinology and Oncology as well as Internal medicine. His work on Kidney as part of general Endocrinology study is frequently linked to Autism spectrum disorder, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
