Zinc is a trace element nutrient that is essential for life. This mineral serves as a cofactor for
enzymes that are involved in critical biochemical processes and it plays many structural …

Two families of zinc (Zn2+) transporters are involved in zinc homeostasis in the body, SLC30
(ZnT, zinc transporter) and SLC39 (ZIP, Zinc (Zn2+)–Iron (Fe2+) Permease). The two zinc …

Zinc (Zn), which is an essential trace element, is involved in numerous mammalian
physiological events; therefore, either a deficiency or excess of Zn impairs cellular …

Zinc is an essential trace element that plays important roles in the regulation of various
physiological responses in the body. Zinc deficiency is known to cause various health …

Zinc is an essential micronutrient, so it is important to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of
zinc homeostasis, including the functional properties of zinc transporters. Mammalian zinc …

The solute carriers families 30 (SLC30; ZnT), 39 (SLC39; ZIP), and 31 (SLC31; CTR) are
involved in the essential maintenance of cellular zinc (Zn 2+) and copper (Cu 2+) …

All of the members of this family are thought to facilitate zinc efflux from the cytoplasm either
into various intracellular compartments (endosomes, secretory granules, synaptic vesicles …

Zinc, which is involved in the structure of all enzyme classes, is a micro nutrient element and
necessary for growth and development. The ability of zinc to function without causing toxic …

Zinc is an essential micronutrient that plays a role in the structural or enzymatic functions of
many cellular proteins. Cellular zinc homeostasis involves the opposing action of two …

Zinc plays essential roles in the early secretory pathway for a number of secretory,
membrane-bound, and endosome/lysosome-resident enzymes. It enables the enzymes to …
