Abstract excerpt
The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is renowned for its high zinc content, but the significant variation among individuals diminishes its value as a reliable source of zinc supplementation. The Zrt/Irt-like protein 1 (ZIP1), a pivotal zinc transporter that facilitates zinc uptake in various organisms, plays crucial roles in regulating zinc content. In the present study, polymorphisms of a ZIP1 gene in C. gigas...
