Anti-SLC39A14

Zinc is an essential cofactor for hundreds of enzymes. It is involved in protein, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism, as well as in the control of gene transcription, growth, development, and differentiation. SLC39A14 belongs to a subfamily of proteins that show structural characteristics of zinc transporters (Taylor and Nicholson, 2003 [PubMed 12659941]). Protein function: Broad-scope metal ion transporter with a preference for zinc uptake (PubMed:29621230). Also mediates cellular uptake of nontransferrin-bound iron. [The UniProt Consortium]
