Ammonium transport proteins widely exist in various life forms including bacteria,fungi,plants,animals,etc. The transport of NH3/ NH+4through an ammonium transport protein has been widely studied.However,the issue that the ionic NH+4or the electrically neutral NH3 species truly goes through the hydrophobic pore of an ammonium transport protein remains controversial. This reviewsurveys the progress in studying on the transport mechanisms of NH3/ NH+4through several typical ammonium transport proteins. The ma...
