SLC39A5 localizations
SLC39A5 [ENSP00000266980]
Zinc transporter ZIP5; May play a role in polarized cells by carrying out serosal- to-mucosal zinc transport. Plays a role in eye development. Could regulate the BMP/TGF-beta (bone morphogenetic protein/transforming growth factor-beta) signaling pathway and modulates extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins of the sclera . Seems to play a central role in controlling organismal zinc status (By similarity).
