SLC39A1 solute carrier family 39 member 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 27173)

Symbol: SLC39A1

Full name: solute carrier family 39 member 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ZIP1; ZIRTL

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the zinc-iron permease family. The encoded protein is localized to the cell membrane and acts as a zinc uptake transporter. This gene has been linked to prostate cancer, breast cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in placenta (RPKM 41.2), lung (RPKM 24.3) and 25 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 9075bp

Exon count: 7
