High impact information on SLC30A7

  • Furthermore, co-immunoprecipitation studies revealed that ZnT5 and ZnT6 formed hetero-oligomers, whereas ZnT7 formed homo-oligomers [1].
  • The inactive ALP protein in DT40 cells deficient in both ZnT5 and ZnT7 genes was transported to cytoplasmic membrane like the active ALP protein in the wild-type cells [2].
  • Combined disruptions of three transporter genes and re-expressions of transgenes revealed that ZnT5 and ZnT6 work in the same pathway, whereas ZnT7 acts alone [1].
  • We show that Znt7 is widely transcribed in mouse tissues with abundant expression in the liver and small intestine and moderate expression in the kidney, spleen, brain, and lung [3].
  • Interestingly, we found upregulation of ZnT7 transcripts in ESCC cells (TE13) grown in zinc deficient condition [4].
 

Anatomical context of SLC30A7

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SLC30A7

  • Here, we characterized the cellular function of ZnT6 together with ZnT5 and ZnT7 by gene-targeting studies using DT40 cells [1].
