A novel gene involved in zinc transport is deficient in the lethal milk mouse.

Nature genetics - 1 Nov 1997

Huang L, Gitschier J

Abstract excerpt

We have identified the gene responsible for the inherited zinc deficiency in the lethal milk (lm) mouse. The gene, here designated Znt4, encodes a 430-amino-acid protein that is homologous to two proteins, ZnT2 and ZnT3, responsible for sequestration of zinc into endosomal/lysosomal compartments...
