Abstract excerpt
The movement of ammonium across biological membranes is mediated in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems by ammonium transport proteins which constitute a family of related sequences (called the AMT/MEP family). Interestingly, recent evidence suggests that human and mouse Rhesus proteins which display significant relatedness to AMT/MEP sequences may function as ammonium transporters. To add to the functional...
