SLC39A4 Products

SLC39A4/ZIP4 is a gene that codes for a protein that plays a role as a zinc transporter in cellular zinc homeostasis and has two isoforms, with lengths of 647 and 622 amino acids and weights of approximately 68 and 66 kDa respectively. Current research is being done on several diseases and disorders related to this gene including enteropathica, autosomal recessive disease, mental disorders, alopecia, diarrhea, dermatitis, pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, and carcinoma. SLC39A$/ZIP4 has also been shown to be incvolved in pathways such as the senescence and autophagy, metal ion SLC transporters, and mineral absorption pathways.
