Abstract

Zinc transporters maintain zinc homeostasis in integrative systems through controlling absorption and excretion of this essential micronutrient as well as by regulating inter-organ and intracellular zinc for functional needs. Studies of the 24 zinc transporters derived from two families have relevance to both clinical science and basic science. These studies are necessary to address the questions of what transported zinc does and why multiple zinc transporters have evolved.
