SLC39A14 solute carrier family 39 member 14

Gene ID: 23516, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HCIN; NET34; ZIP14; cig19; HMNDYT2; LZT-Hs4

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the the SLC39A family of divalent metal transporters that mediates the cellular uptake of manganese, zinc, iron, and cadmium. The encoded protein contains eight transmembrane domains, a histidine-rich motif, and a metalloprotease motif, and is expressed on the plasma membrane and the endocytic vesicle membrane. It is an important transporter of nontransferrin-bound iron and a critical regulator of manganese homeostasis. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation and early-onset parkinsonism-dystonia with hypermanganesemia.
