metallporter
Metallporter are a group of proteins that facilitate the transport of metal ions across biological membranes. They play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including nutrient absorption, detoxification, and signaling. Metallporter proteins are classified into two main families: the heavy metal ATPase (HMA) family and the zinc transporter (ZIP) family.
The HMA family includes proteins that transport heavy metals such as zinc, cadmium, and copper. These proteins
Metallporter proteins are found in various organisms, from bacteria to humans. In humans, they are involved
The study of metallporter proteins is ongoing, with researchers exploring their potential as targets for therapeutic
