Rabbit Anti-SLC39A4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a member of the zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) family. The encoded protein localizes to cell membranes and is required for zinc uptake in the intestine. Mutations in this gene result in acrodermatitis enteropathica. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
Function:
Plays an important role in cellular zinc homeostasis as a zinc transporter. Regulated in response to zinc availability.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane. Recycling endosome membrane. Colocalized with TFRC in the recycling endosomes. Cycles between endosomal compartments and the plasma membrane in response to zinc availability.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in kidney, small intestine, stomach, colon, jejunum and duodenum.
DISEASE:
Acrodermatitis enteropathica, zinc-deficiency type (AEZ)
Similarity:
Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
