DESCRIPTION:Transporters belonging to the Solute Carrier (SLC) family are 
 integral membrane proteins that play essential roles in human physiology. 
 They predominantly control the availability of metabolites and drugs withi
 n the body. More recently\, SLC architectures have been discovered in prot
 eins that act as trafficking receptors and intracellular signalling scaffo
 lds. How SLC proteins accomplish these varied tasks is still unclear. My t
 alk will discuss how SLCs control nutrient and drug transport in response 
 to changes in cellular ion homeostasis and how SLCs have used similar mech
 anisms to function as trafficking receptors and signalling systems within 
 the cell.
