Slc39a6 - solute carrier family 39 (metal ion transporter), member 6 Gene

Also Known as Zip6; Ermelin

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 106957

Summary

Predicted to enable zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular zinc ion homeostasis and zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within zinc ion transport. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; cortical plate; and embryo. Orthologous to human SLC39A6 (solute carrier family 39 member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
