Functional studies of Drosophila zinc transporters reveal the mechanism for zinc excretion in Malpighian tubules
BACKGROUND: Zinc is an essential metal involved in many physiological processes. Previous work has identified a set of zinc transporters involved in Drosophila dietary zinc absorption. However, zinc excretion and reabsorption, the other two important processes to maintain zinc homeostasis, are not a...
