Descriptor English: Zinc Transporter 8
Descriptor Spanish: Transportador 8 de Zinc
Descriptor transportador 8 de zinc
Entry term(s) proteína 8 de la familia 30 de transportadores de solutos
proteína Slc30A8
Scope note: Transportador de eflujo de zinc que se expresa ampliamente en las CÉLULAS DE LOS ISLOTES del páncreas. Actúa en la acumulación de zinc en las vesículas intracelulares y está implicado en la maduración y procesos de almacenamiento de la INSULINA. Las variaciones del gen SLC30A8 se asocian a susceptibilidad a la DIABETES MELLITUS TIPO 2.

Scope note: A zinc efflux transporter highly expressed by ISLET CELLS of the pancreas. It functions in the accumulation of zinc in intracellular vesicles and may be involved in INSULIN maturation and storage processes. Variations in the SLC30A8 gene are associated with susceptibility to DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2.
