CURRENT RESEARCH:
 
a-Fetoprotein as a Physiological Zinc Carrier - Role in Fetal Development
 
Two of the many factors involved in the complicated etiology of fetal malformations are alphafetoprotein (AFP) and zinc. Strong support for the idea that AFP has a role in zinc homeostasis comes from the finding that its expression is regulated by MTF-1, a zinc-responsive transcription factor. The research emphasis is to explore the molecular basis of zinc binding and delivery by AFP, employing structure elucidation, in vitro zinc binding studies, and metalloproteomics, with a view to discover links between inadequacies in zinc transport, fetal malformations, and liver cancer.
