Protein phylogenetic analysis of Ca2+/cation antiporters and insights into their evolution in plants
Cation transport is a critical process in all organisms and is essential for mineral nutrition, ion stress tolerance, and signal transduction. Transporters that are members of the Ca2+/Cation Antiporter (CaCA) superfamily are involved in the transport of Ca2+ and/or other cations using the counter e...
