| Gene Symbol |
SLC39A7
|
| Gene Synonyms |
KE4 AGM9 HKE4 ZIP7 RING5 H2-KE4 D6S115E D6S2244E |
| Gene Full Name |
solute carrier family 39 member 7 |
| Gene Summary |
The protein encoded by this gene transports zinc from the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasm. This transport may be important for activation of tyrosine kinases, some of which could be involved in cancer progression. Therefore, modulation of the encoded protein could be useful as a therapeutic agent against cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014] |
