SLC30A7 solute carrier family 30 member 7

Gene ID: 148867, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ZHS; ZNT7; ZnT-7; ZnTL2

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 SLC30A7, permit cellular efflux of zinc (Seve et al., 2004 [PubMed 15154973]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
