Like iron, zinc is present in the range of 2–4 g. For comparison: the total body content of the third most abundant trace element, copper, amounts to merely 100 mg.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike iron, the body does not have large, rapidly mobilisable reserves for zinc. The zinc that is readily available amounts to only 100–200 mg. Some organs such as the pancreas, the kidney or the spleen can release zinc rapidly – the predominant portion of zinc, however, is found in the musculature and in the bones, where it can only be mobilised very slowly.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that access to these zinc reserves does not occur quickly enough to compensate for suboptimal zinc intake.\u003cstrong\u003e Due to this peculiarity (large zinc reserves, actually only a small portion available for use), deficiency symptoms rapidly arise if daily zinc intake is insufficient.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc has its hand in numerous chemical reactions. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is a component of an enormous variety of enzymes and so-called transcription factors that contain a 'zinc finger domain', such as p53, known as the 'anti-cancer protein'.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe tumour suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that contains a single zinc ion near its DNA-binding site. Zn(2+) is required for site-specific DNA binding and correct transcriptional activation. In addition to its functional significance, zinc plays a crucial role in determining whether p53 folds productively or misfolds.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21072344\/\"\u003eLoh et al. 2010\u003c\/a\u003e) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther examples of zinc-dependent enzymes are alcohol dehydrogenase, which is involved in alcohol breakdown in the liver, and alkaline phosphatase, which is involved in the formation of bone substance. Pancreatic carboxypeptidase in the small intestine, required for protein digestion, also requires zinc. Lastly, hormone receptors frequently bind zinc because they must interact with DNA. This hormone-DNA interaction is stabilised by zinc ions.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn general, zinc is involved in almost everything to do with proteins.\u003c\/strong\u003e It helps proteins bind to DNA. It helps proteins to fold correctly and to interact with other proteins (dimerisation), it regulates protein synthesis itself at the cellular and hormonal level.
