Abstract excerpt
Solute carrier family 30 member 8 (SLC30A8), encoding the pancreatic zinc transporter ZnT8, is a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Reducing ZnT8 transport activity or down-regulating its cellular expression is hypothesized to be an antidiabetogenic strategy mimicking the protective effect of SLC30A8 haploinsufficiency in humans. However, research tools to inhibit ZnT8 activity and measure cellular...
