Methods for detecting and/or measuring the level of sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) in a biological sample. The methods include the steps of: (a) contacting the biological sample with a PERV-B.RBD ligand, a variant and/or a fragment thereof; and, detecting and/or measuring the binding of the PERV-B.RBD ligand, variant and/or fragment thereof to SMVT.

Use of ligands derived from receptor-binding domain of porcine endogenous retrovirus type B for diagnosing SMVT-related diseases

Disclosed are methods for diagnosing CAT1-related diseases, wherein the methods include detecting CAT1 in a cell by a BLV.RBD ligand, or a variant or a fragment thereof. Also disclosed is a BLV.RBD ligand, or a variant or a fragment thereof for use in the treatment of CAT1-related diseases and/or BLV infections.

Use of receptor-binding domain derived from bovine leukemia virus for the diagnosis or treatment of cationic l-amino acid transporter-related diseases
