Zinc transporter 8 encoded by SLC30A8 is a zinc efflux transporter involved in the accumulation of zinc in intracellular vesicles. SLC30A8 is expressed at a high level only in the pancreas, particularly in islets of Langerhans. The encoded protein colocalizes with insulin in the secretory pathway granules of the insulin-secreting INS-1 cells. Allelic variants of this gene exist that confer susceptibility to diabetes mellitus, noninsulin-dependent (NIDDM). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

ZnT-8 Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of ZnT-8 protein.
