Borate Transporters and SLC4 Bicarbonate Transporters Share Key Functional Properties

Borate Transporters and SLC4 Bicarbonate Transporters Share Key Functional Properties

Borate transporters are membrane transport proteins that regulate intracellular borate levels. In plants, borate is a micronutrient essential for growth but is toxic in excess, while in yeast, borate is unnecessary for growth and borate export confers tolerance. Borate transporters share structural...
