Abstract excerpt
Zrt/Irt-like protein 8 (ZIP8), which is a Zn transporter, plays a pivotal role as a Mn transporter. Recent studies have shown that a ZIP8 SNP (rs13107325 C→T, A391T) is associated with multiple diseases, likely by causing systemic Mn deficiency. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We attempted to address this issue in cell-based experiments using Madin-Darby canine kidney cells stably...
