Brand Names: U.S. • Galzin Pharmacologic Category • Chelating Agent, Oral Pharmacology Zinc induces production of the copper binding protein metallothionein in enterocytes. Copper binding within enterocytes results in an impairment of the intestinal absorption of dietary copper and reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper in saliva, bile, gastric acid. Following enterocyte desquamation, bound copper is eliminated in the feces. Absorption Small intestine (IOM 2001); impaired with food and beverages (other than water) Distribution Stored primarily in skeletal muscle and bone (IOM 2001) Excretion Feces and urine (IOM 2001) Protein Binding Albumin and alpha 1-macroglobulin (Foote 1984).
