Three-dimensional structure of β-cell-specific zinc transporter, ZnT-8, predicted from the type 2 diabetes-associated gene variant SLC30A8 R325W

BACKGROUND: We examined the effects of the R325W mutation on the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the β-cell-specific Zn(2+ )(zinc) transporter ZnT-8. METHODS: A model of the C-terminal domain of the human ZnT-8 protein was generated by homology modeling based on the known crystal structure of th...
