Immunogen
A synthetic peptide from human SLC39A4 conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.
Accession
Also known
Solute carrier family 39 member 4, Zrt- and Irt-like protein 4, ZIP-4, SLC39A4, ZIP4
Target
FUNCTION: Plays an important role in cellular zinc homeostasis as a zinc transporter. Regulated in response to zinc availability.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Recycling endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Colocalized with TFRC in the recycling endosomes. Cycles between endosomal compartments and the plasma membrane in response to zinc availability.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in kidney, small intestine, stomach, colon, jejunum and duodenum.
Involvement in disease: Defects in SLC39A4 are the cause of acrodermatitis enteropathica zinc-deficiency type (AEZ)
. AEZ is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by the inability to absorb sufficient zinc. The clinical features are growth retardation, immune system dysfunction, alopecia, severe dermatitis, diarrhea and occasionally mental disorders. All these manifestations are reversible with zinc supplementation. Without zinc therapy this disease is fatal.
Storage
