This review aims to serve as an introduction to the solute carrier proteins (SLC) superfamily
of transporter proteins and their roles in human cells. The SLC superfamily currently …

Iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) are microelements essential for the proper functioning
of living organisms. These elements participatein many processes, including cellular …

Several studies proposed the importance of zinc ion in male fertility. Here, we describe the
properties, roles and cellular mechanisms of action of Zn2+ in spermatozoa, focusing on its …

Zn2+ ions are essential in many physiological processes, including enzyme catalysis,
protein structural stabilization, and the regulation of many proteins. The affinities of proteins …

Zinc is an essential trace element for living organisms, and zinc homeostasis is essential for
the maintenance of the normal physiological functions of cells and organisms. The intestine …

Ion channels and transporters move ions across membrane barriers and are essential for a
host of cell functions in many organs. They conduct K+, Na+ and Cl−, which are essential for …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) has a diverse role in many biological processes, such as
growth, immunity, anti-oxidation system, homeostatic, and repairing. It acts as a regulatory …

Zinc (Zn) is a crucial trace element involved in various cellular processes, including
oxidative stress, apoptosis and immune response, contributing to cellular homeostasis …

Zinc is a group IIB heavy metal. It is an important regulator of major cell signaling pathways
in most mammalian cells, functions as an antioxidant and plays a role in maintaining …
