GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SLC39A4 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
AEZ, AWMS2, ZIP4
Description
Solute carrier family 39 (zinc transporter), member 4 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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]
