SLC30A1

SLC30A1 is a gene that encodes a zinc transporter protein in humans. This protein is a member of the solute carrier family 30, which is also known as the zinc transporter (ZnT) family. The SLC30A1 protein is involved in the transport of zinc from the cytoplasm into the extracellular space or into intracellular vesicles.

Function

The SLC30A1 gene encodes a member of the zinc transporter protein family, which is involved in the transport of zinc from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space or into intracellular vesicles. Zinc is an essential ion for cells and plays significant roles in the growth, development, and differentiation of human cells.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the SLC30A1 gene have been associated with various health conditions, including diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of this gene in human health and disease.
