title: Genes for magnesium transport.
abstract: We know very little about the regulation of magnesium uptake and the control of magnesium homeostasis. After years of relative neglect, however, rapid progress is now being made in understanding the molecular biology of magnesium transport in eukaryotes. Several new gene families have been implicated, and tools are in place for the dissection of the biochemical and biological roles played by the encoded proteins.
