    Summary
    Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to zinc ion; detoxification of copper ion; and intracellular zinc ion homeostasis. Predicted to act upstream of or within intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
