The Diabetes Susceptibility Gene SLC30A8 that Encodes the Zinc Transporter ZnT8 is a Pseudogene in Guinea Pigs Potentially Contributing to Low Guinea Pig Islet Zinc Content
In most mammals pancreatic islet beta cells have very high zinc levels that promote the crystallization and storage of insulin. Guinea pigs are unusual amongst mammals in that their islets have very low zinc content. The selectionist theory of insulin evolution proposes that low environmental zinc l...
