    basic FUNCTION
  • zinc transport out of the cytoplasm
  • with SLC30A4, MAP1LC3A and CASP3 might play a role in the pathophysiology of recurrent neonatal seizure-induced acute and long-term brain damage
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component TMEM163 dimerizes with itself but it also heterodimerizes with SLC30A1, SLC30A2, SLC30A3, and SLC30A4 proteins
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • MCOLN1 works potentially in concert with SLC30A4 to regulate zinc translocation between the cytoplasm and lysosomes
  • cooperative zinc handling of SLC30A4, metallothionein and SLC30A1 in the cytoplasm is required for full activation of ALPL in the early secretory pathway (ESP), and present clear evidence that the activation process of zinc enzymes is elaborately controlled
