Abstract excerpt

Zinc is an essential micronutrient for all organisms. For multicellular organisms, zinc uptake, storage, distribution and export are tightly regulated at both cellular and organismal levels, to cope with the multiple requirements versus the toxicity of the metal ion. During the past decade, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has become an important model organism for the elucidation of metazoan zinc...
