Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) expression is reduced by ischemic insults: a potential therapeutic target to prevent ischemic retinopathy.
The zinc (Zn(++)) transporter ZnT8 plays a crucial role in zinc homeostasis. It's been reported that an acute decrease in ZnT8 levels impairs β cell function and Zn(++) homeostasis, which contribute to the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM). Although ZnT8 expression has been detected in...
