Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables zinc:bicarbonate symporter activity. Involved in several processes, including bicarbonate transport; intracellular monoatomic cation homeostasis; and monoatomic cation transmembrane transport. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study left ventricular noncompaction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital disorder of glycosylation type IIn. Orthologous to human SLC39A8 (solute carrier family 39 member 8).
