Summary: Enables zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in zinc ion transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell homeostasis; chordate embryonic development; and zinc ion transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; sensory organ; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human SLC39A3 (solute carrier family 39 member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
