Monovalent cation transport during the cell cycle (review).

This paper reviews the properties and regulation of cation transport during the cell cycle. Extensive modulations occur in both electro-diffusional and non-electro-diffusional cation transport, most prominently during mitosis and G1 phase. These modulations can be related to compositional, structural and dynamic membrane properties. The implications of modulated cation transport for progression through the cell cycle are discussed.
