[F]Fluciclovine (-1-amino-3-[F]fluorocyclobutanecarboxylic acid; -[F]FACBC), a positron emission tomography tracer used for the diagnosis of recurrent prostate cancer, is transported via amino acid transporters (AATs) with high affinity (: 97-230 μM). However, the mechanism underlying urinary excretion is unknown. In this study, we investigated the involvement of AATs and drug transporters in renal [F]fluciclovine reuptake.
