Gene information for SLC39A6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID25800
Official gene symbolSLC39A6
Full namesolute carrier family 39 (zinc transporter), member 6
Aliases,LIV-1,
Gene summaryZinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A6 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters (Taylor and Nicholson, 2003 [PubMed 12659941]).[supplied by OMIM]
