Solute carrier family 30 member 10


Solute carrier family 30 member 10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC30A10 gene.

Function

This gene is highly expressed in the liver and is inducible by manganese. Its protein product appears to be critical in maintaining manganese levels, and has higher specificity for manganese than zinc. Loss of function mutations appear to result in a pleomorphic phenotype, including dystonia and adult-onset parkinsonism. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. .
