Summary
Enables anion:cation symporter activity and transition metal ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in bicarbonate transport; cellular transition metal ion homeostasis; and ion transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within cadmium ion transmembrane transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; metanephros; and reproductive system. Used to study left ventricular noncompaction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIn. Orthologous to human SLC39A8 (solute carrier family 39 member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
