Zinc Possibilities

Zinc is termed as an essential element required for supporting the activities of the life. Zinc is estimated to have 3,000 of the hundreds of thousands of proteins in the human body and these contain zinc prosthetic groups called the zinc finger. There are dozen numbers of available types of cells in the body of the human and it helps in the secretion of zinc ions and the role of these secreted zinc ion helps in studying detailed about the medicine and health care of the human. The zinc ions are also considered as the neurotransmitters. Cells like salivary gland, immune system and prostrate helps in the signaling of the zinc ions.

Zinc is involved in the process of olfaction and the olfactory receptor consists of zinc binding sites and the deficiency in the zinc results in the anosmia. Zinc is a motivator of certain types of enzymes and this helps in the carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase is considered as the important factor for transportation of the carbon dioxide in the vertebrate blood. This is also essential for the leaf formation in the plants, the production of indole acetic acid called auxin and anaerobic respiration known as alcoholic fermentation.
