GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC30A10 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DKFZp547M236, ZnT-10, ZNT8, ZRC1
Description
Solute carrier family 30, member 10 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene is highly expressed in the liver and is inducible by manganese. Its protein product appears to be critical in maintaining manganese levels, and has higher specificity for manganese than zinc. Loss of function mutations appear to result in a pleomorphic phenotype, including dystonia and adult-onset parkinsonism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.
