FLASH GENE DNA RNA EXPRESSION PROTEIN DISORDER ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a histidine-rich region which is a ligand for zinc
	an aspartate-rich region which is a potential ligand for zinc

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter family
	SLC30A subfamily

CATEGORY

transport carrier

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,Golgi

basic FUNCTION

involved in zinc transport out of the cytoplasm, may be by sequestration into an intracellular compartment

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	heterodimerizing with SLC30A5 (cytosolic C-terminal tail of SLC30A5 is important in determining SLC30A6 as a partner molecule for heterodimer formation)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	Zn2+

protein

cell & other
