Slc30a2 - solute carrier family 30 member 2 Gene

Also Known as Znt2; ZnT-2

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25362

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc transporter. It is localized in the vesicles and suggested to protect the cells from zinc toxicity by facilitating vesicular sequestration. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, one of which initiates translation from a non-AUG (CUG) start codon. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
