Function
Electroneutral transporter of the plasma membrane mediating the cellular uptake of zinc and manganese, two divalent metal cations important for development, tissue homeostasis or immunity . Functions as an energy-dependent symporter, transporting through the membranes an electroneutral complex composed of a divalent metal cation, a bicarbonate and a selenite anion or yet a metal cation and two bicarbonate anions . May also transport iron, mercury and cobalt through membranes . Beside these endogenous cellular substrates, also imports cadmium a non-essential metal which is cytotoxic and carcinogenic . Through zinc import, indirectly regulates the metal-dependent transcription factor MTF1 and the expression of some metalloproteases involved in cartilage catabolism and also probably heart development . Also indirectly regulates the expression of proteins involved in cell morphology and cyt
