The transmembrane domains mediate oligomerization of the human ZIP4 transporter in vivo

Abstract The human (h) ZIP4 is a plasma membrane transporter that functions to increase cytosolic zinc levels. hZIP4 encodes eight transmembrane domains and a large extracellular domain (ECD). This ECD is cleaved from the holo-transporter when cells are zinc-deficient. At the same time, mutations in...
