    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
