| Description |
ZIP11, also known as Slc39A11, is a member of the broader ZIP family of multi-transmembrane domain metal ion transporters. Zinc is an essential ion for cells and plays significant roles in the growth, development, and differentiation. Members of the ZIP family generally transport metal ions from the cell exterior or lumen of intracellular organelles into the cytoplasm, as opposed to the ZnT (SLC30) family of zinc transporters that serve to reduce intracellular zinc availability by promoting zinc efflux from cells or into intracellular vesicles. At least three isoforms of ZIP11 are known to exist. This antibody will not cross-react with the zinc transporter ZIP10.
