Özet

Aims Zinc exists in biological systems as bound and histochemically reactive free Zn2+. It is an essential structural constituent of many proteins, including enzymes from cellular signalling pathways, in which it functions as a signalling molecule. In cardiomyocytes at rest, Zn2+ concentration is in the nanomolar range. Very little is known about precise mechanisms controlling the intracellular distribution of Zn2+ and its variations during cardiac function.
