Slc30a5 - solute carrier family 30 (zinc transporter), member 5 Gene

Predicted to enable zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular zinc ion homeostasis; response to zinc ion; and zinc ion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within cobalt ion transport. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane; nuclear lumen; and secretory granule. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in craniocervical region bone; submandibular gland primordium; and thoracic segment skeleton. Orthologous to human SLC30A5 (solute carrier family 30 member 5).
