Structural defects caused by Acrodermatitis Enteropathica mutations in the extracellular domain account for mistrafficking and malfunction of ZIP4
2020-08-18
Abstract excerpt
ZIP4 is a representative member of the Zrt-/Irt-like protein (ZIP) transporter family and responsible for zinc uptake from diet. Loss-of-function mutations of human ZIP4 (hZIP4) drastically reduce zinc absorption, causing a life-threatening autosomal recessive disorder, Acrodermatitis Enteropathica (AE). Although the zinc transport machinery is located in the transmembrane domain conserved in the entire ZIP family...
