Zinc transporter ZIP8 is a cation/bicarbonate symporter protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC39A8 gene. [5] [6] [7]
This transmembrane protein is responsible for the influx of zinc, manganese, iron, and cadmium. [8] ZIP8 is distributed among the embryo, placenta, and yolk sac during development. [9] Within the embryo, the concentration of ZIP8 is highest during the developmental period of different organ systems, specifically the heart where is it localized in the endothelial cells. Cardiac development is a zinc-dependent event. Beginning around mouse E8.0, the heart is in a tubular form with an outer myocardium layer and an inner endocardium layer, separated by cardiac jelly. [10] As development continues, trabeculation, the protrusion of cardiomyocytes into the cardiac jelly, begins and facilitates nutrient and oxygen exchange prior to the establishment of coronary vessels. Simultaneous with coronary circulation development, the trabeculae then collapse into the ventricular wall in a process known as compaction. Cardiomyocyte differentiation, proliferation, and trabeculae patterning is regulated through Notch 1 signaling, which is upregulated by the ECM. ADAMTS 1, 5, 7, 15, and 19 are zinc metalloenzymes responsible for degrading the ECM prior to compaction. [11] Many studies have analyzed the effects of Slc39a8-/- on fetal heart development and have shown a decrease in zinc influx leading to an increase in cardiomyocyte proliferation through BMP10, hypertrabeculation through the upregulation of Notch1, and ventricular non-compaction due to the persistence of the ECM.
Zinc transporter 8 (ZNT8) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC30A8 gene. ZNT8 is a zinc transporter related to insulin secretion in humans. In particular, ZNT8 is critical for the accumulation of zinc into beta cell secretory granules and the maintenance of stored insulin as tightly-packaged hexamers. Certain alleles of the SLC30A8 gene may increase the risk for developing type 2 diabetes, but a loss-of-function mutation appears to greatly reduce the risk of diabetes.
Zinc transporter ZIP4 is a transmembrane protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC39A4 gene. It is associated with acrodermatitis enteropathica.
Transcription factor GATA-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GATA4 gene.
Homeobox protein Nkx-2.5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKX2-5 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A1 gene.
Zinc transporter SLC39A7 (ZIP7), also known as solute carrier family 39 member 7, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A7 gene. Its fruit fly orthologue is Catsup.
Zinc transporter 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC30A4 gene.
Zinc transporter 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC30A7 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A2 gene.
Protein Jumonji is a protein that in humans is encoded by the JARID2 gene. JARID2 is a member of the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylase superfamily.
Zinc transporter ZIP6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A6 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A3 gene.
Monocarboxylate transporter 1 is a ubiquitous protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC16A1 gene. It is a proton coupled monocarboxylate transporter.
Zinc transporter 1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SLC30A1 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP10, also known as solute carrier family 39 member 10, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A10 gene. ZIP10 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters, and have 14 members in the human genome: ZIP1, ZIP2, ZIP3, ZIP4, ZIP5, ZIP6, ZIP7, ZIP8, ZIP9, ZIP10, ZIP11, ZIP12, ZIP13 and ZIP14.
Zinc transporter 3 also known as solute carrier family 30 member 3 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the SLC30A3 gene.
Zinc transporter ZIP9, also known as Zrt- and Irt-like protein 9 (ZIP9) and solute carrier family 39 member 9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A9 gene. This protein is the 9th member out of 14 ZIP family proteins, which is a membrane androgen receptor (mAR) coupled to G proteins, and also classified as a zinc transporter protein. ZIP family proteins transport zinc metal from the extracellular environment into cells through cell membrane.
Solute carrier family 39 member 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A12 gene.
Solute carrier family 39 member 11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A11 gene.
Solute carrier family 30 member 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC30A10 gene.
