Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In summary the project led to publications primarily describing (1) regulation of SLC41A1 and its detailed molecular biology. Furthermore, (2) in our work we have proposed, apart of its obvious role in intracellular magnesium homeostasis, also role of SLC41A1 in pathophysiology of prominent ailments such as: diabetes mellitus, Parkinson’s disease, and also cancer. In particular the link between SLC41A1 and the regulation of Akt/PKB makes SLC41A1 to be an attractive target for translational medicine and chronobiology in future studies. I believe that work resulting from this project significantly shifted our knowledge on involvement of SLC41A1 in cellular physiology and pathophysiology, and helped to understand also the role of the close homolog of SLC41A1, namely SLC41A3 that is the first ever described Mg2+ carrier and Mg2+-efflux sysem in mitochondria.
