    Summary
    Enables high-affinity zinc transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC39A1 (solute carrier family 39 member 1); SLC39A2 (solute carrier family 39 member 2); and SLC39A3 (solute carrier family 39 member 3).

    GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. the high-affinity zinc transporter ZRT1 showed an elevated rate of synonymous polymorphism indicative of balancing selection; the high rate of synonymous polymorphism coincided with nonsynonymous divergence among three haplotype groups, among which we found no detectable differences in ZRT1 function.

    2. In yeast, zinc is transported by the transporters ZRT1 and ZRT2, which are both regulated by the zinc-responsive transcription factor ZAP1.

    3. revealed that minisatellite alterations in a Deltazrt1 mutant occur by a combination of RAD52-dependent and RAD52-independent mechanisms
