Summary: Enables monoatomic anion:monoatomic cation symporter activity and transition metal ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; intracellular zinc ion homeostasis; and transition metal ion transport. Acts upstream of or within iron ion transport and zinc ion transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; dentate gyrus subgranular zone; ear; liver; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermanganesemia with dystonia 2. Orthologous to human SLC39A14 (solute carrier family 39 member 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
