SLC30A2
geneOn this page
Summary
SLC30A2 (solute carrier family 30 member 2, HGNC:11013) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p36.11, encoding Proton-coupled zinc antiporter SLC30A2 (Q9BRI3). Electroneutral proton-coupled antiporter concentrating zinc ions into a variety of intracellular organelles including endosomes, zymogen granules and mitochondria.
The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc transporter that acts as a homodimer. The encoded protein plays a role in secreting zinc into breast milk. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Proton-coupled zinc antiporter SLC30A2 — Q9BRI3 (reviewed: Q9BRI3)
Alternative names: Solute carrier family 30 member 2, Zinc transporter 2
All UniProt accessions (1): Q9BRI3
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Electroneutral proton-coupled antiporter concentrating zinc ions into a variety of intracellular organelles including endosomes, zymogen granules and mitochondria. Thereby, plays a crucial role in cellular zinc homeostasis to confer upon cells protection against its potential cytotoxicity. Regulates the zinc concentration of milk, through the transport of zinc ions into secretory vesicles of mammary cells. By concentrating zinc ions into lysosomes participates to lysosomal-mediated cell death during early mammary gland involution. Electroneutral proton-coupled antiporter mediating the efflux of zinc ions through the plasma membrane.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts (via lysosomal targeting motif) with AP3D1; in AP-3-mediated transport to lysosomes. Interacts with TMEM163.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Secretory vesicle membrane. Zymogen granule membrane. Endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane. Mitochondrion inner membrane Cell membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at Ser-296. Phosphorylation at Ser-296 prevents localization to lysosomes. Dephosphorylation of Ser-296 which triggers localization to lysosomes, accumulation of zinc into lysosomes and lysosomal-mediated cell death is induced by TNF.
Disease relevance. Zinc deficiency, transient neonatal (TNZD) [MIM:608118] A disorder occurring in breast-fed infants as a consequence of low milk zinc concentration in their nursing mothers, which cannot be corrected by maternal zinc supplementation. A large amount of zinc, an essential trace mineral, is required for normal growth particularly in infants, and breast milk normally contains adequate zinc to meet the requirement for infants up to 4 to 6 months of age. Zinc deficiency can lead to dermatitis, alopecia, decreased growth, and impaired immune function. The disorder shows autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter (TC 2.A.4) family. SLC30A subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 72 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
