Slc39a14 - solute carrier family 39 (zinc transporter), member 14

Enables anion:cation symporter activity and transition metal ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity; transition metal ion homeostasis; and transition metal ion transport. Acts upstream of or within iron ion transport and zinc ion transport. Located in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in autopod; ear; face; nervous system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermanganesemia with dystonia 2. Orthologous to human SLC39A14 (solute carrier family 39 member 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
