2.A.5.3.1
Growth arrest-inducible protein, ZIP2 of 309 aas.  Zinc dyshomeostasis leads to augmented production of proinflammatory cytokines, promoting chronic inflammation and increasing the susceptibility to age-related diseases. ZIP2 plays a role in the immune system, especially during zinc deficiency, while a polymorphism in the coding region of ZIP2 (Gln/Arg/Leu) is associated with severe carotid artery disease (Giacconi et al. 2015).
