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).

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.
