How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
During dietary zinc deficiency in mice, ZIP5 protein was internalized and degraded in enterocytes, pancreatic acinar cells and visceral endoderm even though Zip5 mRNA abundance did not change.
Experimental context and source evidence
- availability_state
- nutrient_deficiency Imported condition classification; unverified.
- cross_nutrient
- false
- experimental_model
- Dietary depletion/repletion and protein/RNA assays
- exposure
- Defined zinc-deficient diet followed in some experiments by oral zinc repletion.
- limitations
- Protein abundance, transcription and transport flux are different endpoints; this is a mouse dietary adaptation.
- nutrient_topic
- Zinc research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct dietary effect. · Zinc
- organism
- Mus musculus
- plain_language
- Zinc deficiency reduced ZIP5 protein without reducing its messenger RNA.
