SLC30A1 and cystic fibrosis: Interestingly, RV infection in CF AECs results in the upregulation of a group of SLC transporter genes, including upregulation of CP (ferroxidase), SLC41A2 (magnesium transporter), SLC30A1 (zinc transporter), and SLC39A8 (zinc transporter) and downregulation of SLC39A10 (zinc transporter) and SLC40A1 (iron-regulated transporter).
