SLC39A4, Official Symbol SLC39A4provided by HGNC Official Full Name solute carrier family 39 member 4provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17129 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000147804 MIM:607059; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17129 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as AEZ; ZIP4; AWMS2 Summary This gene encodes a member of the zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) family. The encoded protein localizes to cell membranes and is required for zinc uptake in the intestine. Mutations in this gene result in acrodermatitis enteropathica. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
