Abstract excerpt
Solute carrier family 11 member 1 (Slc11a1, formerly Nramp1) is a highly glycosylated, 12 transmembrane domain protein expressed in macrophages. It resides in the membrane of late endosomes and lysosomes, where it functions as a bivalent cation transporter. Mice susceptible to infection by various intracellular pathogens including Leishmania donovani and Salmonella typhimurium carry a glycine to aspartic acid...
