Membrane-spanning transport proteins are responsible for the selective passage of most
mineral nutrients and metabolites across cellular and intracellular membranes. This review's …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is essential for signal transduction and cell metabolism, and is also
an essential structural component of the extracellular matrix of the skeleton. Pi is sensed in …

In mammals, phosphate balance is maintained by influx and efflux via the intestines,
kidneys, bone, and soft tissue, which involves multiple sodium/phosphate (Na+/Pi) …

Of the 25 elements required to build most organisms, sodium has a unique set of
characteristics that ramify through terrestrial ecology. In plants, sodium is found in low …

In this paper, we present a review of the current knowledge of calcium and phosphorus
metabolism as it relates to homeostatic mechanisms in poultry; contrasts with mammalian …

Transport of inorganic phosphate (Pi) across the plasma membrane is essential for normal
cellular function. Members of two families of SLC proteins (SLC20 and SLC34) act as Na+ …

This review summarizes the characteristics of the solute carrier family SLC34 that is
represented by the type ll Na/P i-cotransporters NaPi-lla (SLC34A1), NaPi-llb (SLC34A2) …

Phosphate is an essential nutrient for life and is a critical component of bone formation, a
major signaling molecule, and structural component of cell walls. Phosphate is also a …

Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is required for energy metabolism, nucleic acid synthesis, bone
mineralization, and cell signaling. The activity of cell-surface sodium-phosphate (Na+-Pi) …

Phosphate is an essential component of life and must be actively transported into cells
against its electrochemical gradient. In vertebrates, two unrelated families of Na+-dependent …
