The 47th Annual Meeting of the Molecular Biology Society of Japan

Organizer: Toshiyuki Fukada (Tokushima Bunri University ), Taiho Kambe (Kyoto University)

Zinc plays fundamental roles to control expression, activation, localization, etc., of various proteins. Zinc ion released from transporters acts as a signaling factor called zinc signal that participates in physiological conditions, so that perturbed zinc signal causes disease status. In this symposium, we will discuss recent advances of zinc signaling with young researchers toward understanding its biological relevance in molecular basis.
