UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q78IQ7 (Q78IQ7)
Gene Name:
Slc39a4
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Selective transporter that mediates the uptake of Zn(2+) (PubMed:12801924, PubMed:14612438, PubMed:14709598). Plays an essential role for dietary zinc uptake from small intestine (PubMed:12801924). The Zn(2+) uniporter activity is regulated by zinc availability (By similarity). Also exhibits polyspecific binding and transport of Cu(2+), Cd(2+) and possibly Ni(2+) but at higher concentrations (PubMed:12801924)
