Abstract excerpt
The intracellular distribution of micronutrients, as well as their uptake, is important for cell function. In some cases the distribution of micronutrients or their related proteins is determined by gene expression mechanisms. The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of metallothionein-1 mRNA determines localisation of the mRNA, and in turn intracellular trafficking of the protein product. Using transfected cells we...
