Slc30a1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcium channel inhibitor activity. Involved in intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis; negative regulation of monoatomic ion transport; and zinc ion transport. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; basolateral plasma membrane; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and nose. Orthologous to human SLC30A1 (solute carrier family 30 member 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Slc30a1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
