The Ins and Outs of Manganese: ZIP14 facilitates the efflux of excess manganese from the brain.

J Zou, Trista Lee Thorn, Z Wang, Y Wang, Tolunay Beker Aydemir

This study shows ZIP14 facilitates manganese efflux from the brain by relocalizing to the basolateral membrane in BBB endothelial cells, and its deletion causes Mn accumulation.

Intestine-specific deletion of metal transporter Zip14 (Slc39a14) causes brain manganese overload and locomotor defects of manganism

Tolunay Beker Aydemir, Trista Lee Thorn, Courtney H. Ruggiero, Marjory Pompilus, Marcelo Febo, Robert J. Cousins

This study shows that deleting ZIP14 in the intestine causes manganese overload in the brain and motor defects, highlighting its role in manganese excretion.
