Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells ubiquitously expressed in human and mouse tissues;
Protein Function associated with the Golgi apparatus and was capable of transporting zinc from the Golgi apparatus into the cytoplasm of the cell; ZnT1 protein is involved in zinc efflux from the cell, whereas other ZnT proteins (ZnT2–7) are engaged in subcellular zinc sequestration when zinc is abundant
Biochemical Properties predicted to have six transmembrane domains with a histidine-rich loop between transmembrane domains 4 and 5; regulated at transcriptional and post-translational levels by zinc;
Significance in milk key to Zn acquisition from maternal circulation
