Gene information for SLC39A4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55630
Official gene symbolSLC39A4
Full namesolute carrier family 39 (zinc transporter), member 4
Aliases,AEZ,FLJ20327,MGC74741,ZIP4,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) family. The transmembrane protein is required for zinc uptake in the intestine. Mutations in this gene result in acrodermatitis enteropathica, a rare inherited defect in the absorption of dietary zinc. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
