Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable zinc efflux transmembrane transporter activity and zinc:proton antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including insulin processing; intracellular zinc ion homeostasis; and zinc ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on GPI anchor biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is expressed in craniocervical region bone; submandibular gland primordium; and thoracic segment skeleton. Orthologous to human SLC30A5 (solute carrier family 30 member 5).
