    GlossaryZinc Transporter

    protein that moves zinc ions across cell membranes

    A zinc transporter is a type of protein that helps move zinc ions in and out of cells or organelles within cells. These transporters are crucial for maintaining proper zinc levels, which are essential for various biological functions, including immune response, enzyme activity, and hair growth. Inadequate zinc transport can lead to deficiencies or toxicities, impacting overall health and conditions like alopecia.
