UniProtKB description: Highly selective magnesium channel that plays an important role in Mg(2+) homeostasis (PubMed:17700703, PubMed:19798051, PubMed:25367295, PubMed:33905418). Functions as a Mg(2+)-dependent gating channel (PubMed:19798051, PubMed:25367295, PubMed:33905418). Exhibits low activity with cobalt, suggesting that it might also be involved in the uptake of Co(2+) as a micronutrient (PubMed:19798051). Also exhibits low activity with Ca(2+), but it shows almost no activity with Mn(2+) (PubMed:25367295).
