Dietary zinc absorption is mediated by ZnT1 in Drosophila melanogaster.

FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology - 1 Aug 2009

Wang Xiaoxi, Wu Yuantai, Zhou Bing

Abstract excerpt

Zinc is an essential nutritional factor involved in many key biological processes. However, the physiological function of zinc transporters at the organismal level is not well characterized. Early embryonic lethality of Znt1 knockout mice precludes functional analysis of the role of ZnT1 in dietary zinc absorption. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the Drosophila ZnT1 orthologue, dZnT1,...
