Abstract excerpt
Synaptic vesicle Zn is regulated by zinc transporter 3 (ZnT3) and is involved in neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. Here, we describe extensive alterations of ZnT3-regulated Zn pools in the brains of human amyloid precursor protein-transgenic (Tg2576) mice. In contrast to wild-type littermates in which ZnT3 expression and synaptic Zn increased with age, there were age-dependent reductions in ZnT3...
