Zinc transporter SLC30A2 genetic variations and health implications

The SLC30A2 zinc transporter has been investigated due to its important role in zinc secretion into human milk. SLC30A2 is expressed in mammary epithelial cells, and the presence of genetic variations in this transporter could cause low zinc transport into the milk, leading to Transient Neonatal Zin...
