Zinc transporter ZIP1
Template:PBB Zinc transporter ZIP1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A1 gene.[1] [2][3]
The protein ZIP1 is responsible for the active transport of zinc into prostate cells. In many prostate cancers SLC39A1 is silenced causing prostate cancer cells to be low in zinc.[4]
