The zinc transporter ZIP7 (Slc39a7) controls myocardial reperfusion injury by regulating mitophagy.
Title: The zinc transporter ZIP7 (Slc39a7) controls myocardial reperfusion injury by regulating mitophagy.
we have clarified the functional differences between ZIP7 and ZIP13 and show that their different regulation of cellular zinc homeostasis is critical for dermal development and homeostasis.
Title: Different Actions of Intracellular Zinc Transporters ZIP7 and ZIP13 Are Essential for Dermal Development.
Study identified that Zip7 is upregulated by glucose in normal skeletal muscle cells and downregulated in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle. The overexpression of Zip7 in skeletal muscle cells led to the modulation of key genes involved in the insulin signaling axis and glucose metabolism. In vivo mouse model revealed a reduction in Glut4 and Zip7 in the skeletal muscle of mice fed a high-fat diet.
Title: The Zinc Transporter Zip7 Is Downregulated in Skeletal Muscle of Insulin-Resistant Cells and in Mice Fed a High-Fat Diet.
Depletion of zinc transporter Zip7 by RNA interference shows reduction of both PI3K/Akt signalling and a significant reduction of multinucleated myofibres and myotubes development. Moreover, we show that mature myofibres, obtained through stimulation with high concentrations of zinc, accumulate zinc and so we hypothesise their function as zinc reservoirs into the cell
Title: Zinc uptake promotes myoblast differentiation via Zip7 transporter and activation of Akt signalling transduction pathway.
these findings provide evidence for the importance of ZIP7 in maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis through the regulation of ER function in proliferative progenitor cells and maintenance of intestinal stem cells. Therapeutic targeting of ZIP7 could lead to effective treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
