MTF-1-mediated repression of the zinc transporter Zip10 is alleviated by zinc restriction.

The regulation of cellular zinc uptake is a key process in the overall mechanism governing mammalian zinc homeostasis and how zinc participates in cellular functions. We analyzed the zinc transporters of the Zip family in both the brain and liver of zinc-deficient animals and found a large, signific...
