Data Sheet
Background: Zinc transporter-3 (ZnT-3) is expressed in regions of the brain that are rich in histochemically reactive zinc, including entorhinal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus. ZnT-3 protein is most abundant in the zinc-enriched mossy fibers that project from the dentate granule cells to hilar and CA3 pyramidal neurons.
Application: Functional assays
