Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Rattus norvegicus

Also known as: Znt2; ZnT-2
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc transporter. It is localized in the vesicles and suggested to protect the cells from zinc toxicity by facilitating vesicular sequestration. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, one of which initiates translation from a non-AUG (CUG) start codon. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

What's a GeneRIF?

expression of the zinc transporter in ventral prostate (VP) of aged rats (21 months) was approximately 21-fold higher than that in VP of young rats (4 months), and zinc levels in VP of young rats increased significantly compared with that in aged rats.
Title: Castration- and aging-induced changes in the expression of zinc transporter and metallothionein in rat prostate.
The results indicate that ZnT2 may play a significant role in the maintenance of zinc homeostasis in the prostate.
Title: Zinc transporter expression profiles in the rat prostate following alterations in dietary zinc.
The upregulation of ZnT1, ZnT2, and ZnT4 was to decrease the cytosolic zinc levels caused by NO after transient occlusion of the CCA.
Title: The increase in zinc levels and upregulation of zinc transporters are mediated by nitric oxide in the cerebral cortex after transient ischemia in the rat.
There were no differences between the mRNA expression levels of ZnT family members in undifferentiated Rcho-1 cells and differentiated Rcho-1 cells.
Title: Expression profiles of zinc transporters in rodent placental models.
Expression of zinc transporter-2 in lateral and dorsal prostate was unaffected by castration. Factors regulating zinc homeostasis other than zinc transporters are involved in lowering zinc content after castration in rat prostate.
Title: High-level expression of zinc transporter-2 in the rat lateral and dorsal prostate.
Transfection and mutation studies show that translation initiates at a non-AUG (CUG) start codon.
Title: ZnT-2, a mammalian protein that confers resistance to zinc by facilitating vesicular sequestration.

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.
