Summary
Enables zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in zinc ion import into synaptic vesicle. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transport. Located in hippocampal mossy fiber. Is active in several cellular components, including hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; microvesicle; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; metanephros; olfactory nerve; and spinal cord mantle layer. Orthologous to human SLC30A3 (solute carrier family 30 member 3).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
