The human zinc transporter ZnT8 provides the granules of pancreatic β-cells with zinc (II) ions for assembly of insulin hexamers for storage. Until recently, the structure and function of human ZnTs have been modelled on the basis of the 3D structures of bacterial zinc exporters, which form homodimers with each monomer having six transmembrane α-helices harbouring the zinc transport site and a cytosolic domain with an α,β structure and additional zinc-binding sites. However, there are important differences in function as the bacterial
