By analogy with bacterial orthologues, this family is probably magnesium transporters. The prokaryote orthologue, MgtE, is responsible for uptake of divalent cations, while the heterologous expression studies of mammalian proteins suggest Mg2+ efflux [3], possibly as a result of co-expression of particular protein partners (see [4]). Topological modelling suggests 10 TM domains with cytoplasmic C- and N- termini.
