Abstract
The role of the extracellular medium in influencing metal uptake into cells has not been described quantitatively. In a chemically-defined model system containing albumin, zinc influx into endothelial cells correlates with the extracellular free zinc concentration. Allosteric inhibition of zinc-binding to albumin by free fatty acids increased zinc flux.
