Human transporters involved in manganese homeostasis that possess a yeast ortholog.

Human Transporter Yeast Mn2+-Transporting Ortholog Function in Human Cells
DMT1 [33] Smf1p and Smf2p Plasma membrane metal importer
Involved in dietary manganese intake
NRAMP1 [20,34] Smf1p and Smf2p Plasma membrane metal importer
Mostly expressed in the phagosome of macrophages where it limits the bioavailability of metals to invading microbes
SPCA1 and SPCA2 [35,36] Pmr1p Golgi-localized Ca2+ and Mn2+ P-type ATPases
Involved in manganese detoxification and Golgi Mn2+ supply
TMEM165 [27,37] Gdt1p Golgi-localized Ca2+ and Mn2+ secondary transporter
Putatively involved in manganese detoxification and Golgi Mn2+ supply
ATP13A2 [38] Ypk9p Putative lysosomal Mn2+ transporter
Involved in manganese sequestration in the lysosome
ATP13A1 [29] Cod1p Mn2+ P-type ATPase at the endoplasmic reticulum
Supplies the secretory pathway with manganese
