Iron transporter MagA from Magnetospirillum magneticum

MagA is a transmembrane iron transporter originating from the aquatic magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum. In the original host the protein is involved in the formation of intracellular magnetic particles of magnetite (Fe₃O₄). When expressed in procaryotic or eukaryotic cells it leads to the accumulation of intracellular iron that can be detected using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. This characteristic makes MagA ideal as an endogenous contrast agent for in vitro and in vivo applications.
