Source: NCBI Gene (ID 277468)
Symbol: Slc39a12
Full name: solute carrier family 39 (zinc transporter), member 12
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: Gm731
Summary: Enables zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of microtubule polymerization; regulation of neuron projection development; and zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in embryo mesenchyme; forelimb; and nervous system. Orthologous to human SLC39A12 (solute carrier family 39 member 12).
