The Ins and Outs of Manganese: ZIP14 facilitates the efflux of excess manganese from the brain
2025-07-03
Abstract excerpt
Manganese (Mn) is essential for many enzymatic processes in the brain; however, Mn overload can lead to neurotoxicity and behavioral deficits. The blood-brain barrier (BBB), comprised of polarized endothelial cells, tightly regulates metals in and out of the brain. ZIP14 ( SLC39A14 ) is a metal transporter more recently found to transport Mn, with mutations in human SLC39A14 resulting in brain Mn accumulation an...
