Glucose Regulates Free Cytosolic Zn(2+) Concentration, Slc39 (ZiP), and Metallothionein Gene Expression in Primary Pancreatic Islet β-Cells

Zn(2+) is an important cofactor for insulin biosynthesis and storage in pancreatic β-cells. Correspondingly, polymorphisms in the SLC30A8 gene, encoding the secretory granule Zn(2+) transporter ZnT8, are associated with type 2 diabetes risk. Using a genetically engineered (FRET)-based sensor (eCALWY...
