Background
Zinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A6 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters (Taylor and Nicholson, 2003 [PubMed 12659941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],
Function
function:May act as a zinc-influx transporter.,induction:Up-regulated by estrogen in breast cancer cells lines.,PTM:N-glycosylated.,similarity:Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in the breast, protate, placenta, kidney, pituitary and corpus callosum. Weakly expressed in heart and intestine. Also highly expressed in cells derived from an adenocarcinoma of the cervix and lung carcinoma.,
