This transporter plays an important role in maintaining intracellular zinc homeostasis. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 52 kDa. ZnT1 is expressed in a wide range of tissues including the brain liver and intestines indicating its significant role in various physiological processes. The protein is located in the cell plasma membrane which aligns with its function of mediating zinc efflux.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nZnT1 is essential for regulating the cellular zinc levels and protecting against zinc toxicity. It does not form part of a larger complex; instead it operates as an individual unit to ensure that excess zinc does not accumulate to harmful levels within the cell. By controlling zinc efflux ZnT1 influences processes such as cell signaling and apoptosis which rely on zinc as a cofactor or structural component.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nHomeostasis of zinc ions in cells connects ZnT1 to the cellular zinc transport pathway and the metal ion transport pathway. ZnT1 coordinates with intracellular zinc-binding proteins like metallothioneins to modulate zinc availability and transportation within the cell. Proteins such as ZIP4 which facilitate zinc uptake operate in a complementary manner to ZnT1 balancing zinc influx and efflux to maintain cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nMisregulation of ZnT1 has been linked to conditions such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer changes in zinc transport influence tumor growth and progression partly involving interactions with proteins like p53 a critical tumor suppressor modulated by zinc availability. In neurodegenerative diseases abnormal zinc levels can contribute to neuronal damage where ZnT1 interacts with Amyloid Beta plaques affecting the pathology of Alzheimer's disease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845141811369,"sku":"ab264664","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab264664","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
