Zinc hyperaccumulation in squirrelfish (Holocentrus adscenscionis) and its role in embryo viability.
Female squirrelfish (Fam. Holocentridae) can accumulate and temporarily sequester copious amounts of zinc (Zn) in their livers. There, it is initially compartmentalized before a subsequent, estrogen-triggered redistribution to the ovaries. Here we show that cellular uptake of Zn is also influenced b...
