Molecular and genetic features of zinc transporters in physiology and pathogenesis

Fukada, Toshiyuki, Kambe, Taiho·2011·Metallomics

Abstract

Zinc (Zn) is a vital element. It plays indispensable roles in multifarious cellular processes, affecting the expression and activity of a variety of molecules, including transcription factors, enzymes, adapters, channels, growth factors, and their receptors. A disturbance in Zn homeostasis due to Zn deficiency or an excess of Zn absorption can therefore impair the cellular machinery and exert various influences on physiological programs, such as systemic growth, morphogenetic processes, and immune responses, as well as neuro-sensory and endocrine functions. Thus, Zn imbalance becomes pathogenic in humans. Zn homeostasis is controlled by the coordinated actions of Zn transporters, which are responsible for Zn influx and efflux, and intricately regulate the intracellular and extracellular Zn concentration and distribution. In this review, we describe crucial roles of Zn transporters in biological phenomena, focusing in particular on how Zn transporters contribute to cellular events at the molecular, biochemical, and genetic level, with recent progress uncovering the roles of Zn transporters in physiology and pathogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
