Slc30a8 - solute carrier family 30 (zinc transporter), member 8 Gene

Also Known as ZnT8; ZnT-8; C820002P14Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 239436

Summary

Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in cellular zinc ion homeostasis; Insulin secretion; and response to glucose. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SLC30A8 (solute carrier family 30 member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
