- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Transporter, Membrane protein, SLC30 family (ZnT), SLC39 family (ZIP)
01
Overview
Zinc ion transport encompasses all molecular processes governing selective movement of Zn²⁺ via dedicated transporter families—primarily SLC30/ZnTs for efflux/sequestration and SLC39/ZIPs for influx—with crucial roles in health maintenance at cellular through organismal levels. These transporters regulate cytosolic free Zn²⁺ levels, zinc storage within organelles, and zinc-dependent signaling pathways. Disruption in their function leads to diseases related to both deficiency and toxicity due to improper distribution.
