Abstract excerpt
Loss of Paneth cell (PC) function is implicated in intestinal dysbiosis, mucosal inflammation, and numerous intestinal disorders, including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Studies in mouse models show that zinc transporter ZnT2 (SLC30A2) is critical for PC function, playing a role in granule formation, secretion, and antimicrobial activity; however, no studies have investigated whether loss of ZnT2 function is...
