basic FUNCTION
| di,tri-valent inorganic cation transporter |
|
maybe play cell-specific roles in zinc homeostasis rather than primary roles in the acquisition of dietary zinc (Dufner-Beattie 2003) |
|
appear to be important for retention of the zinc in the cellular compartment (Desouki 2007) |
|
seemingly associated with the re-uptake of zinc from prostatic fluid (Desouki 2007) |
|
important zinc uptake transporter involved in the unique ability of prostate cells to accumulate high cellular zinc levels (Desouki 2007) |
|
primarily plays a role in the reuptake and cellular retention of Zn in the mammary gland from the previously secreted milk pool, thus regulating cellular function (Kelleher 2009) |
|
have unique cell-specific functions during adaptation to zinc deficiency (Kambe 2009) |
|
is the important transporter required for the accumulation of zinc and its inhibition of proliferation |
