Disease relevance of Slc30a5

 

High impact information on Slc30a5

  • These results indicate that Znt5 protein plays an important role in maturation of osteoblasts and in maintenance of the cells involved in the cardiac conduction system, partly owing to dysregulated expression of IEGs and HSPs [1].
  • Furthermore, we showed that expression of ZnT5 mRNA was up-regulated by the endoplasmic reticulum stress in various cell lines [2].
  • These results suggest that ZnT-5 plays an important role for transporting zinc into secretory granules in pancreatic beta cells [3].
