Slc39a7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intracellular zinc ion homeostasis; regulation of ferroptosis; and zinc ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in agammaglobulinemia 9. Orthologous to human SLC39A7 (solute carrier family 39 member 7). [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 rat Slc39a7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
