Entrez gene ID | | 25362 |
Official gene symbol | | Slc30a2 |
Full name | | solute carrier family 30 (zinc transporter), member 2 |
Aliases | | ZnT-2,Znt2 |
Gene 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] |
