ZinT

• PFAM accession number: PF09223
• Interpro abstract (IPR015304):

  This domain is found in prokaryotic proteins that were first identified as part of the response of bacteria to a challenge with the toxic heavy metal cadmium. They are able to bind to cadmium and ensure its subsequent elimination [ (PUBMED:12909634) ]. Previously known YodA, these proteins have been renamed as ZinT, and have been shown to bind zinc with high affinity. They may play a role in zinc homeostasis and growth under zinc limited conditions [ (PUBMED:17931600) ].

• GO function: zinc ion binding (GO:0008270)
