Identification of SLC41A3 as a novel player in magnesium homeostasis.

Regulation of the body Mg(2+) balance takes place in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT), where transcellular reabsorption determines the final urinary Mg(2+) excretion. The basolateral Mg(2+) extrusion mechanism in the DCT is still unknown, but recent findings suggest that SLC41 proteins contribute...
