Suboptimal dietary zinc (Zn 2+ ) intake is increasingly appreciated as an important public health issue. Zn 2+  is an essential mineral, and infants are particularly vulnerable to Zn 2+  deficiency, as they require large amounts of Zn 2+  for their normal growth and development. Although term infants are born with an important hepatic Zn 2+  storage, adequate Zn 2+  nutrition of infants mostly depends on breast milk or formula feeding, which contains an adequate amount of Zn 2+  to meet the infants' requirements. An exclusively breast-fed 6 months old infant suffering from Zn 2+  deficiency caused by an autosomal dominant negative G87R mutation in the  Slc30a2  gene (encoding for the zinc transporter 2 (ZnT-2)) in the mother is reported. More than 20 zinc transporters characterized up to date, classified into two families (Slc30a/ZnT and Slc39a/Zip), reflect the complexity and importance of maintaining cellular Zn 2+  homeostasis and dynamics. The role of ZnTs is to reduce intracellular Zn 2+  by transporting it from the cytoplasm into various intracellular organelles and by moving Zn 2+  into extracellular space. Zips increase intracellular Zn 2+  by transporting it in the opposite direction. Thus the coordinated action of both is essential for the maintenance of Zn 2+  homeostasis in the cytoplasm, and accumulating evidence suggests that this is also true for the secretory pathway of growth hormone.
