Biological regulation with the three redox-inert metals ions: Mg2+, Ca2+, and Zn2+. Zinc extends the range of regulation with metal ions. The regulatory function of each metal ion is in a specific range of concentrations, thus avoiding overlap with the signalling functions of the other metal ions. However, there are interactions among the metabolism of the metal ions.
