Slc30a8 - solute carrier family 30 member 8 Gene

Also Known as ZnT-8

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 299903

Summary

Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including Insulin secretion; ion homeostasis; and positive regulation of Insulin secretion. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human SLC30A8 (solute carrier family 30 member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
