Summary: Predicted to enable monoatomic cation:bicarbonate symporter activity and zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including T cell receptor signaling pathway; intracellular zinc ion homeostasis; and zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Located in apical plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC39A6 (solute carrier family 39 member 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Liv-1 (SLC39A6)is localized to the plasma membrane in neurons, suggesting that it plays a role in Zn uptake into neurons
Title: Zinc deficiency is associated with increased brain zinc import and LIV-1 expression and decreased ZnT-1 expression in neonatal rats.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
