Subcellular localization of zinc (Zn) transporters. Subcellular localization and potential function of members of the ZIP and Zn transporter (ZnT) families are shown based on currently available information.( 92 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 , 104 ) Predicted directions of Zn mobilization are indicated with arrows. ER, endoplasmic reticulum; MT, metallothionein; MTF‐1, metal‐responsive element‐binding transcription factor‐1.
