Figure 1

A schematic representation on the mechanisms of zinc homeostasis in mammalian cells. Zinc is distributed at large transmembrane and vesicular gradients. These are generated by the orchestrated activity of multiple zinc transporters and regulators of zinc transport. For the sake of simplicity, the ZnT2-10 have been illustrated on a single compartment although they may be found on multiple organelles.
