Slc39a9 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity; androgen binding activity; and zinc efflux transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in regulation of cellular response to testosterone stimulus. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including mitochondrial membrane; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human SLC39A9 (solute carrier family 39 member 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Slc39a9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
