Zinc transporter 6

BE0009907ProteinHumansSLC30A6

Has probably no intrinsic transporter activity but together with SLC30A5 forms a functional zinc ion:proton antiporter heterodimer, mediating zinc entry into the lumen of organelles along the secretory pathway (PubMed:15994300, PubMed:19366695, PubMed:19759014). It is acted on by 2 drugs in DrugBank.
