Metal ion transporters and homeostasis

Metal ion transporters and homeostasis.

Transition metals are essential for many metabolic processes and their homeostasis is crucial for life. Aberrations in the cellular metal ion concentrations may lead to cell death and severe diseases. Metal ion transporters play a major role in maintaining the correct concentrations of the various metal ions in the different cellular compartments. Recent studies of yeast mutants revealed key el...

Metal Ion Homeostasis Mediated by NRAMP Transporters in Plant Cells – Focused on Increased Resistance to Iron and Cadmium Ion

Ion homeostasis, channels, and transporters: an update on cellular mechanisms.

The steady-state maintenance of highly asymmetric concentrations of the major inorganic cations and anions is a major function of both plasma membranes and the membranes of intracellular organelles. Homeostatic regulation of these ionic gradients is critical for most functions. Due to their charge, the movements of ions across biological membranes necessarily involves facilitation by intrinsic ...
