Excerpt: Phosphate homeostasis is the bringing of phosphate in any form into a cell and when needed transporting phosphate out of the cell to maintain homeostasis for that cell. In the extracellular region near the plasma membrane, portions of membrane-associated molecules wait to capture phosphate and transport it into the cell. The phosphate may occur as inorganic orthophosphate particles or be part of an organic molecule (organophosphate). Due to its high reactivity, phosphorus is never found as a free element in nature. Phosphates are found pervasively in biology. Phosphate is a component of DNA and RNA and an essential element for all living cells. Phosphate metabolism is the complete set of ph...
