About Slc39a5

Summary

Predicted to enable zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including BMP signaling pathway; cellular zinc ion homeostasis; and zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to zinc ion starvation and positive regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myopia. Orthologous to human SLC39A5 (solute carrier family 39 member 5).
