Abstract
Solute carrier proteins (SLCs) are pivotal for maintaining cellular homeostasis by transporting small molecules across cellular membranes. Recent discoveries have uncovered their involvement in modulating innate immunity, particularly within the cytosol. We review emerging evidence that links SLC transporters to cytosolic innate immune recognition and highlight their role in regulating inflammation. We explore how SLC transporters influence the activation of endosomal Toll-like receptors, cytosolic NODs, and STING sensors. Understanding the contribution of SLCs to innate immune recognition provides insight into their fundamental biological functions and opens new avenues to develop possible therapeutic interventions for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. This review aims to discuss current knowledge and identify key gaps in this rapidly evolving field.
