======= SLC39A2 =======
== Gene Information ==
* **Official Symbol**: SLC39A2
* **Official Name**: solute carrier family 39 member 2
* **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A
* **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=29986|29986]]
* **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9NP94|Q9NP94]]
* **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=SLC39A2&organism=9606|BioGRID]]

* **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/612166|Open OMIM]]
== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene encodes a member of the ZIP family of metal ion transporters. The encoded protein functions as a zinc transporter. Mutations in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to carotid artery disease. Multiple transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010].
* **UniProt Summary**: Mediates zinc uptake. Zinc uptake may be mediated by a Zn(2+)-HCO(3)(-) symport mechanism and can function in the presence of albumin. May also transport other divalent cations. May be important in contact inhibition of normal epithelial cells and loss of its expression may play a role in tumorigenesis.
