Protein name Zinc transporter ZIP2 (6A1) (Eti-1) (Solute carrier family 39 member 2) (Zrt- and Irt-like protein 2) (ZIP-2) (hZIP2)
Protein function Transporter for the divalent cation Zn(2+) (PubMed:10681536, PubMed:29791142, PubMed:30914478). Mediates the influx of Zn(2+) into cells from extracellular space. The Zn(2+) uniporter activity is independent of H(+)-driving force, but is modulat
