Abstract excerpt
Nramp1 (natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1) is an integral membrane protein with 12 putative transmembrane domains. As a proton-coupled divalent metal cation transporter, it is involved in defense against intracellular pathogens. Disease-causing mutation in Nramp1 occurring at glycine 169 located within the fourth transmembrane domain (TM4) suggests functional importance of this domain. In this...
