Sulfate Transporters

Highly conserved families of transmembrane anion transporters that occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In humans, they are expressed by epithelial cells in a variety of tissues and participate in diverse physiologic functions such as cell motility and regulating the composition and acidity of body fluids. Some Slc13 family proteins function as sodium ion-coupled co-transporters of sulfate and other anions.

Highly conserved families of transmembrane anion transporters that occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In humans, they are expressed by epithelial cells in a variety of tissues and participate in diverse physiologic functions such as cell motility and regulating the composition and acidity of body fluids.
