Identification and characterization of a novel mammalian Mg2+ transporter with channel-like properties
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intracellular magnesium is abundant, highly regulated and plays an important role in biochemical functions. Despite the extensive evidence for unique mammalian Mg2+ transporters, few proteins have been biochemically identified to date that fulfill this role. We have shown that epithelial magnesium conservation is controlled, in part, by differential gene expression leading to regulation of Mg2+...
