BACKGROUND: Zinc is a metal ion that is essential for growth and development,
immunity, and metabolism, and therefore vital for life. Recent studies have
highlighted zinc's dynamic role as an insulin mimetic and a cellular second
messenger that controls many processes associated with insulin signaling and
other downstream pathways that are amendable to glycemic control. MAIN BODY:
Mechanisms that contribute to the decompartmentalization of zinc and
dysfunctional zinc transporter mechanisms, including zinc signaling are
associated with metabolic disease, including type 2 diabetes. The actions of the
proteins involved in the uptake, storage, compartmentalization and distribution
of zinc in cells is under intense investigation. Of these, emerging research has
highlighted a role for several zinc transporters in the initiation of zinc
signaling events in cells that lead to metabolic processes associated with
maintaining insulin sensitivity and thus glycemic homeostasis. CONCLUSION: This
raises the possibility that zinc transporters could provide novel utility to be
targeted experimentally and in a clinical setting to treat patients with insulin
resistance and thus introduce a new class of drug target with utility for
diabetes pharmacotherapy.
