Function | Selective transporter that mediates the uptake of Zn(2+) (PubMed:17202136, PubMed:22242765, PubMed:27321477, PubMed:28875161, PubMed:31164399, PubMed:31914589, PubMed:31979155, PubMed:33837739, PubMed:36473915). Plays an essential role for dietary zinc uptake from small intestine (By similarity). The Zn(2+) uniporter activity is regulated by zinc availability (PubMed:32348750, PubMed:17202136). Exhibits also polyspecific binding and transport of Cu(2+), Cd(2+) and possibly Ni(2+) but at higher concentrations (PubMed:22242765, PubMed:31914589). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A0H3LM39}. Recycling endosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A0H3LM39}. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q78IQ7}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A0A0H3LM39}. Note=Colocalized with TFRC in the recycling endosomes. Cycles between endosomal compartments and the plasma membrane in response to Zn(2+) availability. Zn(2+) deficiency promotes accumulation of SLC39A4 on the surface membrane, whereas high extracellular Zn(2+) levels induce internalization of SLC39A4, but also trigger drastic removal of cellular SLC39A4 via proteasomal and lysosomal degradation pathways. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q78IQ7, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17202136, ECO:0000269|PubMed:32348750} |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in kidney, small intestine, stomach, colon, jejunum and duodenum. |
