Summary

SLC39A14 (solute carrier family 39 member 14, HGNC:20858) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p21.3, encoding Metal cation symporter ZIP14 (Q15043). Electroneutral transporter of the plasma membrane mediating the cellular uptake of the divalent metal cations zinc, manganese and iron that are important for tissue homeostasis, metabolism, development and immunity.

This gene encodes a member of the the SLC39A family of divalent metal transporters that mediates the cellular uptake of manganese, zinc, iron, and cadmium. The encoded protein contains eight transmembrane domains, a histidine-rich motif, and a metalloprotease motif, and is expressed on the plasma membrane and the endocytic vesicle membrane. It is an important transporter of nontransferrin-bound iron and a critical regulator of manganese homeostasis. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation and early-onset parkinsonism-dystonia with hypermanganesemia.

Function. Electroneutral transporter of the plasma membrane mediating the cellular uptake of the divalent metal cations zinc, manganese and iron that are important for tissue homeostasis, metabolism, development and immunity. Functions as an energy-dependent symporter, transporting through the membranes an electroneutral complex composed of a divalent metal cation and two bicarbonate anions. Beside these endogenous cellular substrates, can also import cadmium a non-essential metal which is cytotoxic and carcinogenic. Controls the cellular uptake by the intestinal epithelium of systemic zinc, which is in turn required to maintain tight junctions and the intestinal permeability. Modifies the activity of zinc-dependent phosphodiesterases, thereby indirectly regulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathways important for gluconeogenesis and chondrocyte differentiation. Regulates insulin receptor signaling, glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis and gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes through the zinc-dependent intracellular catabolism of insulin. Through zinc cellular uptake also plays a role in the adaptation of cells to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Major manganese transporter of the basolateral membrane of intestinal epithelial cells, it plays a central role in manganese systemic homeostasis through intestinal manganese uptake. Also involved in manganese extracellular uptake by cells of the blood-brain barrier. May also play a role in manganese and zinc homeostasis participating in their elimination from the blood through the hepatobiliary excretion. Also functions in the extracellular uptake of free iron. May also function intracellularly and mediate the transport from endosomes to cytosol of iron endocytosed by transferrin. Plays a role in innate immunity by regulating the expression of cytokines by activated macrophages.

Subunit / interactions. Homotrimer.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Basolateral cell membrane. Early endosome membrane. Late endosome membrane. Lysosome membrane.

Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed, with higher expression in liver, pancreas, fetal liver, thyroid gland, left and right ventricle, right atrium and fetal heart. Weakly expressed in spleen, thymus, and peripheral blood leukocytes. Expressed in liver and in brain by large neurons in the globus pallidus, the insular cortex and the dentate nucleus and to a lower extent in the putamen and the caudate nucleus (at protein level). Expressed in osteoblasts and giant osteoclast-like cells, but not in osteocytes found osteoblastoma and giant cell tumors (at protein level). Expressed by microvascular capillary endothelial cells that constitute the blood-brain barrier (at protein level). Expressed by macrophages. Widely expressed but not detected in brain, heart, skeletal muscle, placenta and fetal skin.

Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated. Ubiquitination occurs upon iron depletion. The ubiquitinated form undergoes proteasomal degradation. N-glycosylated. N-glycosylation at Asn-102 is required for iron-regulated extraction of the transporter from membranes and subsequent proteasomal degradation.

Disease relevance. Hypermanganesemia with dystonia 2 (HMNDYT2) [MIM:617013] A metabolic autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased blood manganese levels, neurodegeneration, and rapidly progressive parkinsonism and dystonia. Affected individuals present with loss of developmental milestones, progressive dystonia and bulbar dysfunction in infancy or early childhood. Towards the end of the first decade, they manifest severe generalized pharmacoresistant dystonia, spasticity, limb contractures and scoliosis, and loss of independent ambulation. Cognition may be impaired, but is better preserved than motor function. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Hyperostosis cranialis interna (HCIN) [MIM:144755] An autosomal dominant bone disorder characterized by endosteal hyperostosis and osteosclerosis of the calvaria and the skull base. The progressive bone overgrowth causes entrapment and dysfunction of cranial nerves I, II, V, VII, and VIII, its first symptoms often presenting during the second decade of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Conditional knockin mice overexpressing Arg-438 variant, which is the mouse equivalent of human variant Leu-441, in osteoblasts have a severe skeletal phenotype marked by a drastic increase in cortical thickness due to an enhanced endosteal bone formation, resembling the underlying pathology in HCI patients.

Induction. Up-regulated by iron (at protein level). Down-regulation upon iron depletion occurs through proteasomal degradation of the intracellular pool. Up-regulated by tunicamycin, a drug inducing endoplasmic reticulum stress (at protein level). Up-regulated by lipopolysaccharide/LPS.

Similarity. Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
