Characterisation of the zinc transporter ZnT10 and its role in cellular homeostasis in healthy and Alzheimer's disease brain

Zinc is essential to the structure and function of numerous proteins and enzymes so requires tight homeostatic control at both the systemic and cellular level. Two families of zinc transporters – ZIP (SLC39) and ZnT (SLC30) – contribute to zinc homeostasis. There are at least 10 members of the human...
