The involvement of zinc transporters in the zinc accumulation in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

Zinc transporters play vital roles in regulating zinc content and localization by mobilizing zinc across cellular and intracellular membranes. Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is one of the most zinc-rich animals, which has been regarded as an excellent food for zinc supplement. But the information about zinc transporters and their involvements in zinc accumulation in oysters is still limited. In the present study, a total of 28 zinc transporter...
