SLC39A2 - solute carrier family 39 member 2 Gene
Also Known as 6A1; ZIP2; ETI-1; ZIP-2
Species: Homo sapiens
About SLC39A2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 121 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Biased expression in skin (RPKM 12.0), esophagus (RPKM 8.3) and 3 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the ZIP family of metal ion transporters. The encoded protein functions as a zinc transporter. Mutations in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to carotid artery disease. Multiple transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
