Are the physiological effects of deleting the mouse SLC30A8 gene encoding zinc transporter-8 influenced by gender and genetic background?
Our data suggest that, despite a marked reduction in islet zinc content, the absence of ZnT-8 does not have a substantial impact on mouse physiology.
LL-37 induces MUC5AC mucin production by airway epithelial cells via TACE-TGF-α-EGFR pathway.
