Fig. 7.
Examples of SLC proteins transporting trace metals (SLC11, SLC30, SLC31, SLC39, SLC40, SLC41, and SLC49). SLC11A2 is shown as an example of a proton‐dependent transporter of metal ions (primarily Fe2+). SLC40A1 is an iron exporter. SLC39A1 is shown as an example of a zinc importer, while SLC30A1 is shown as a zinc exporter. SLC31A1 is shown as an example of a cooper transporter. SLC41A1 is shown as an example of a magnesium transporter. SLC49A1 is shown as an example of a heme transporter.
