This study confirms that ZnT2 is important for normal breast function in women during lactation, and suggests that women who harbor defective variants in ZnT2 may be at-risk for poor lactation performance.
Title: A genetic variant in SLC30A2 causes breast dysfunction during lactation by inducing ER stress, oxidative stress and epithelial barrier defects.
ZnT2 is a novel regulator of vacuolar ATPase assembly, driving lysosome biogenesis, acidification, and tissue remodeling during the initiation of mammary gland involution.
Title: ZnT2 is critical for lysosome acidification and biogenesis during mammary gland involution.
Our data implicate ZnT2 as a critical mediator of cell death during involution and importantly, that as an initial involution signal, TNFalpha redistributes ZnT2 to lysosomes to activate LCD

dephosphorylated S296 was required to target ZnT2 to accumulate Zn in lysosomes
Title: TNFα Post-Translationally Targets ZnT2 to Accumulate Zinc in Lysosomes.
Together, these results demonstrate that ZnT2-mediated zinc transport is critical for mammary gland function, suggesting that defects in ZnT2 not only reduce milk zinc concentration but may compromise breast health
Title: Essential Role for Zinc Transporter 2 (ZnT2)-mediated Zinc Transport in Mammary Gland Development and Function during Lactation.
establish that PRL post-translationally regulates ZnT2-mediated zinc secretion in a multifactorial manner, first by enhancing zinc accumulation in vesicles to transiently enhance zinc secretion and then by activating ubiquitin-dependent ZnT2 degradation
Title: Prolactin (PRL)-stimulated ubiquitination of ZnT2 mediates a transient increase in zinc secretion followed by ZnT2 degradation in mammary epithelial cells.
Results identify ZnT2, the first Zn transporter directly associated with mitochondria and suggest that unique secretory tissues such as the mammary gland require novel mechanisms to modulate mitochondrion-specific functions.
Title: A histidine-rich motif mediates mitochondrial localization of ZnT2 to modulate mitochondrial function.
Study identified 2 distinct single nucleotide polymorphisms in SLC30A2, which encodes ZnT2. SNP1 (Leu(23)Pro)was mislocalized to lysosomes, while SNP2 (Arg(340)Cys) was mislocalized to the Golgi apparatus.

ZnT2 participates in zinc transport into pancreatic zymogen granules through a glucocorticoid pathway requiring glucocorticoid receptor and STAT5.

Results illustrate that prolactin regulates the transcription of ZnT2 through activation of the Jak2/STAT5 signaling pathway to assist in providing optimal zinc for secretion into milk during lactation.

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.
