ZIP8 Is an Iron and Zinc Transporter Whose Cell-surface Expression Is Up-regulated by Cellular Iron Loading

Abstract: Background: Previous studies have identified the transmembrane protein ZIP8 (ZRT/IRT-like protein 8) as a zinc transporter. Results: ZIP8 can transport iron in addition to zinc and is up-regulated by iron loading. Conclusion: ZIP8 represents the third mammalian transmembrane iron import protein to be identified. Significance: ZIP8 may play a role in iron metabolism.

“…Our data indicate that DMT1 plays no physiologically relevant role in manganese absorption; however, the possibility remains that DMT1 could contribute to manganese absorption in manganese overexposure or dietary iron deficiency. Alternative intestinal uptake systems for manganese have not been identified but candidates include ZIP14 which is strongly expressed in the intestine and exhibits manganese transport activity in vitro (48,57). Consistent with the strong preference of DMT1 for iron over any other physiological substrate tested in vitro (27), our present data support the notion that intestinal DMT1 is specific to iron absorption, at least under normal physiological conditions.…”

“…Post-transcriptional regulation has been reported for a number of ZIP proteins including ZIP1, 35 38 and ZIP8. 39 Precisely how these ZIP proteins are controlled post-transcriptionally is not well understood, but may involve a variety of mechanisms including translational inhibition, translational repression by miRNA, signal-induced translational activation, and mRNA localization. 40,41 Further studies are required to delineate how iron loading increases ZIP14 protein levels without affecting mRNA abundance.…”

“…Possibilities include L-type Ca 2+ channels, 42 T-type Ca 2+ channels, 43 or perhaps ZIP8, an iron and zinc transporter 39 that was reported to be up-regulated in heart tissue of thalassemic mice. 43 The lack of an effect of iron overload on heart ZIP14 levels might be due to heart-specific regulation or to the comparatively minor degree of iron loading in this tissue.…”

“…However, some Zn transporters (e.g. Znregulated transporter/Fe-regulated transporter-like proteins 8 and 14; ZIP8 and ZIP14) have recently been found to be capable of transporting Fe into mammalian cells (74,75) . Therefore, it can be speculated that when an excessive amount of Fe is consumed together with Zn in a water solution Fe may inhibit ZIP-mediated Zn transport, resulting in decreased Zn absorption and reduced Zn concentrations.…”
