Uptake and Transport Molecules on Endothelial Cells

Vascular endothelial cells directly contact the bloodstream and are a critical cell type for absorbing circulating nutrients. They express multiple receptors for the internalization of glucose as well as lipoproteins and lipoprotein components. They also express uptake receptors for ions and small molecules.
