Zusammenfassung

Zink beeinflusst das Immunsystem und somit die Abwehr von Pathogenen und Tumorzellen. Im Körper moduliert die Zinkhomöostase die Anzahl und Funktion von neutrophilen Granulozyten, Monozyten, natürlichen Killer (NK)-, T- und B-Zellen. Dabei sind das Überleben und die Balance zwischen den verschiedenen T-Zell-Subtypen besonders empfindlich gegenüber Veränderungen im Zinkgehalt des Körpers. Dies beruht zum einen auf fest an Proteine gebundenem Zink, das für die Struktur und Funktion von tausenden Enzymen und Transkriptionsfaktoren gebraucht wird. Zum anderen gibt es freie Zinkionen, die als Signal innerhalb von Immunzellen wirken.
