SLC39A1 — Solute carrier family 39 member 1
SLC39A1 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 2 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Transporter for the divalent cation Zn(2+). Mediates the influx of Zn(2+) into cells from extracellular space. Functions as the major importer of zinc from circulating blood plasma into prostate cells.
