SLC metal transporters are a group of proteins that facilitate the movement of metal ions across cell membranes. They belong to the SLC (Solute Carrier) family, which includes various transporters responsible for moving different substances into and out of cells. These transporters play a crucial role in maintaining metal ion homeostasis, which is essential for various biological processes. These metal transporters are involved in the uptake and distribution of essential metals like iron, zinc, and copper. Proper functioning of SLC metal transporters is vital for cellular health, as imbalances in metal ion levels can lead to various diseases and disorders. Understanding these transporters can help in developing treatments for conditions related to metal ion dysregulation.
