ZIP8 expression in human proximal tubule cells, human urothelial cells transformed by Cd<sup>+2</sup> and As<sup>+3</sup> and in specimens of normal human urothelium and urothelial cancer

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>ZIP8 functions endogenously as a Zn<sup>+2</sup>/HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>-</sup> symporter that can also bring cadmium (Cd<sup>+2</sup>) into the cell. It has also been proposed that ZIP8 p...
