zinc transporter protein crucial for cellular zinc uptake

Zinc is an essential mineral for various biological functions, including immune response, DNA synthesis, and cell division. In the context of hair and alopecia, proper zinc levels are important for maintaining healthy hair growth, and disruptions in zinc transport can potentially contribute to hair loss conditions.
