Short Decsription
Creative Biolabs offers Human CHO-K1 ZnT8 Receptor Stable Cell Line for cell-based functional assays. ZnT8 receptor stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.
Description
CHO-K1-Tg(Human ZnT8 Receptor) Stable Cell Line was engineered to express the receptor human ZnT8 (NM_173851.2). ZnT8 is a zinc transporter protein crucial for maintaining zinc homeostasis in pancreatic beta cells and regulating insulin secretion. This cell line can be used to study ZnT8 receptor function, signaling pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions.
Features

Background
ZnT8 is primarily located in insulin-containing secretory granules of pancreatic beta cells. It transports zinc ions from the cytoplasm into these granules, where zinc is stored and co-secreted with insulin in response to glucose stimulation. The main function of ZnT8 is to regulate zinc storage and secretion in pancreatic beta cells. Zinc ions are essential for the structure and stability of insulin crystals within secretory granules. Proper regulation of ZnT8 activity ensures adequate insulin storage and release in response to fluctuating blood glucose levels.
