This review summarizes the characteristics of the solute carrier family SLC34 that is represented by the type ll Na/P(i)-cotransporters NaPi-lla (SLC34A1), NaPi-llb (SLC34A2) and NaPi-llc (SLC34A3). Other Na/P(i)-cotransporters are described within the SLC17 and SLC20 families. Type ll Na/P(i)-cotransporters are expressed in several tissues and play a major role in the homeostasis of inorganic phosphate. In kidney and small intestine, type ll Na/P(i)-cotransporters are located at the apical sites of epithelial cells and represent the rate limiting steps for transepithelial movement of phosphate. Physiological and pathophysiological regulation of renal and small intestinal epithelial transport of phosphate occurs through alterations in the abundance of type ll Na/P(i)-cotransporters.

Significance Statement: Kidneys are gatekeepers of systemic inorganic phosphate balance because they control urinary phosphate excretion. In yeast and plants, inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks) are central to regulate phosphate metabolism, whereas their role in mammalian phosphate homeostasis is mostly unknown. We demonstrate in a renal cell line and in mice that Ip6k1 and Ip6k2 are critical for normal expression and function of the major renal Na + /Pi transporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc.

Multiple actions of extracellular Pi on the skeletal cells are likely to be partly mediated by type III sodium/phosphate (Na/Pi) cotransporters Pit1 and Pit2, although the details are not fully understood. In the current study, to determine the roles of Pit1 and Pit2 in osteoblasts, we generated Pit1-knockout (KO) and Pit2-KO osteoblastic cells by applying CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to an osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 subclone 4. The extracellular Pi level was increased in the Pit1-KO and Pit2-KO clones due to the reduced Pi uptake.

Inorganic phosphate (P ) is crucial for proper cellular function in all organisms. In mammals, type II Na-Pi cotransporters encoded by members of the Slc34 gene family play major roles in the maintenance of P homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating Na-Pi cotransporter activity within the plasma membrane are largely unknown.

Phosphate is essential for skeletal mineralization, and its chronic deficiency leads to rickets and osteomalacia. Skeletal mineralization starts in matrix vesicles (MVs) derived from the plasma membrane of osteoblasts and chondrocytes. MVs contain high activity of tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP), which hydrolyzes phosphoric esters such as pyrophosphates (PPi) to produce inorganic orthophosphates (Pi).
