Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables monoatomic anion:monoatomic cation symporter activity and transition metal ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; cellular response to insulin stimulus; and transition metal ion transport. Acts upstream of or within iron ion transport and zinc ion transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; dentate gyrus subgranular zone; ear; liver; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermanganesemia with dystonia 2. Orthologous to human SLC39A14 (solute carrier family 39 member 14).
