ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc efflux transporter involved in the accumulation of zinc in intracellular vesicles. This gene is expressed at a high level only in the pancreas, particularly in islets of Langerhans. The encoded protein colocalizes with insulin in the secretory pathway granules of the insulin-secreting INS-1 cells. Allelic variants of this gene exist that confer susceptibility to diabetes mellitus, noninsulin-dependent (NIDDM). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
uniprot summary :
SLC30A8: Facilitates the accumulation of zinc from the cytoplasm into intracellular vesicles, being a zinc-efflux transporter. May be a major component for providing zinc to insulin maturation and/or storage processes in insulin-secreting pancreatic beta- cells. Belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter (TC 2.A.4) family. SLC30A subfamily. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Transporter, SLC family; Vesicle; Transporter; Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-pass. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 8q24.11. Cellular Component: Golgi apparatus; secretory granule membrane; cytoplasmic membrane-bound vesicle; plasma membrane; integral to membrane; secretory granule. Molecular Function: protein homodimerization activity; zinc ion binding; zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. Biological Process: sequestering of zinc ion; cellular protein metabolic process; insulin secretion; cellular zinc ion homeostasis; response to glucose stimulus; positive regulation of insulin secretion; zinc ion transport; glucose homeostasis; transmembrane transport. Disease: Diabetes Mellitus, Noninsulin-dependent
