Slc30a9 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including nuclear receptor binding activity; transcription coactivator activity; and zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular zinc ion homeostasis; regulation of mitochondrion organization; and zinc ion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; cytoskeleton; and mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human SLC30A9 (solute carrier family 30 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 rat Slc30a9 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
