| Name: | Zinc | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description: | Zinc is an essential element, necessary for sustaining all life. It is an essential trace element, necessary for plants, animals, and microorganisms. Zinc is found in nearly 100 specific enzymes (other sources say 300), serves as structural ions in transcription factors and is stored and transferred in metallothioneins. It is "typically the second most abundant transition metal in organisms" after iron and it is the only metal which appears in all enzyme classes.
