About SLC39A7

Cytogenetic location: 6p21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:33,200,867-33,204,437 (from NCBI)

This gene has 17 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 175 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in prostate (RPKM 58.8), placenta (RPKM 52.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene transports zinc from the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm. This transport may be important for activation of tyrosine kinases, some of which could be involved in Cancer progression. Therefore, modulation of the encoded protein could be useful as a therapeutic agent against Cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
