Gene name
SLC30A6 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ31101, ZNT6
Description
Solute carrier family 30 (zinc transporter), member 6 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Zinc functions as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, nuclear factors, and hormones and as an intra- and intercellular signal ion. Members of the zinc transporter (ZNT)/SLC30 subfamily of the cation diffusion facilitator family, such as SLC30A6, permit cellular efflux of zinc (Seve et al., 2004 [PubMed 15154973]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
