Phosphate Transporters

Phosphate transporters are protein molecules located on cell membranes that help cells take in phosphate, an essential mineral for energy production, bone health, and cell function. These transporters regulate the movement of phosphate from the bloodstream into cells, ensuring proper physiological processes. They operate through specific mechanisms, such as active or passive transport, depending on the body's needs. Proper function of phosphate transporters is vital for maintaining mineral balance and overall health, especially in bones, teeth, and muscles.
