Nucleoside recognition This region in the nucleoside transporter proteins are responsible for determining nucleoside specificity in the human CNT1 and CNT2 proteins. In the FeoB proteins, which are believed to be Fe2+ transporters, it includes the membrane pore region, so the function of this region is likely to be more general than just nucleoside specificity. This family may represent the pore and gate, with a wide potential range of specificity. Hence its name 'Gate'.
