VOLUME‐ACTIVATED TAURINE TRANSPORT IS DIFFERENTIALLY ACTIVATED IN HUMAN CERVICAL CANCER HT‐3 CELLS BUT NOT IN HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS‐IMMORTALIZED Z183A AND NORMAL CERVICAL EPITHELIAL CELLS

1. Previous studies demonstrate that volume‐sensitive chloride currents are distinctly activated in cervical cancer cells, but not in human papillomavirus (HPV)‐immortalized and normal cervical cells. In the present study, the Na+‐independent volume‐activated transport of taurine in three cervical cell types was investigated.
