Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including monoatomic cation transmembrane transporter activity; zinc ion binding activity; and zinc ion sensor activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular zinc ion homeostasis and zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to zinc ion starvation. Predicted to be located in apical plasma membrane and recycling endosome membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acrodermatitis enteropathica. Orthologous to human SLC39A4 (solute carrier family 39 member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

The rapid upregulation of Zip4 expression in the small intestine during zinc deficient conditions corroborates the important role of Zip4 in the systemic control of zinc homeostasis.
Title: Properties of Zip4 accumulation during zinc deficiency and its usefulness to evaluate zinc status: a study of the effects of zinc deficiency during lactation.
Chronic alcohol exposure decreases Kruppel-like factor (KLF)4 and ZIP4 expression and consequently decreases zinc transport into cells which, in turn, impairs their function.
Title: Chronic alcohol ingestion in rats decreases Krüppel-like factor 4 expression and intracellular zinc in the lung.
The localization of zip1 and zip4 was examined in the brains of adult rats
Title: Localization of zip1 and zip4 mRNA in the adult rat brain.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
