It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A10 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters (Taylor and Nicholson, 2003 [PubMed 12659941]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Broad expression in thyroid (RPKM 12.9), brain (RPKM 12.5) and 21 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
