背景
This gene encodes a member of the ZIP family of metal ion transporters. The encoded protein functions as a zinc transporter. Mutations in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to carotid artery disease. Multiple transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010],
功能
function:Mediates zinc uptake. Zinc uptake may be mediated by a Zn(2+)-HCO(3)(-) symport mechanism and can function in the presence of albumin. May also transport other divalent cations. May be important in contact inhibition of normal epithelial cells and loss of its expression may play a role in tumorigenesis.,induction:Shows a dramatic induction in normal epithelial cells contact inhibition.,miscellaneous:Zinc uptake is inhibited at pH levels below 7.0 and is stimulated at higher pH and is significantly inhibited by Cu(2+), Co(2+) and Mn(2+) ions. Not inhibited by Fe(2+).,similarity:Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.,tissue specificity:Expressed only in prostate and uterine epithelial cells.,
