The metal cation symporter ZIP8 (SLC39A8) is a transmembrane protein that imports the
essential micronutrients iron, manganese, and zinc, as well as heavy toxic metal cadmium …

Human transmembrane protein metal cation symporter ZIP8 (SLC39A8) is a member of the
solute carrier gene family responsible for intracellular transportation of essential …

Abstract Zinc ion (Zn2+) is essential for life; its deficiency in the human body could cause
stunted growth, anemia and susceptibility to infection. The Zn transporter ZIP8 (also known …

Zrt/Irt-like protein 8 (ZIP8)(encoded by Slc39a8) is a multifunctional membrane transporter
that influxes essential metal cations Zn2+, Mn2+, Fe2+, and nonmetal inorganic selenite …

ZIP8 (SLC39A8) belongs to the ZIP family of metal-ion transporters. Among the ZIP proteins,
ZIP8 is most closely related to ZIP14, which can transport iron, zinc, manganese, and …

ZIP5 is a central player in mammalian zinc metabolism. Studies suggest that ZIP5 is
differentially expressed during esophageal tumorigenesis, yet the role of ZIP5 in esophageal …

Abstract Zrt/Irt-like protein 8 (ZIP8), which is a zinc transporter, plays a pivotal role as a
manganese transporter. Recent studies have shown that a ZIP8 SNP (rs13107325 C→ T …

ZIP8 is a membrane transporter that facilitates the uptake of divalent metals (eg, Zn, Mn, Fe,
Cd) and the mineral selenite in anionic form. ZIP8 functionality has been recently reported to …

Zinc, iron, and manganese are essential trace elements that serve as catalytic or structural
components of larger molecules that are indispensable for life. The three metal ions possess …

Abstract Zinc (Zn) transporter ZIP8, encoded by SLC39A8, is a unique transporter that can
transport divalent manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd) in addition to Zn. Recently …
