Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Transporter for the divalent cation Zn(2+) (PubMed:10681536, PubMed:29791142, PubMed:30914478). Mediates the influx of Zn(2+) into cells from extracellular space. The Zn(2+) uniporter activity is independent of H(+)-driving force, but is modulated by extracellular pH and membrane potential. Also transports other divalent cations Zn(2+), Cd2(+), Cu2(+), Co2(+) in the order of decreasing affinity, respectively (PubMed:29791142, PubMed:30914478). In the skin, aids in the differentiation of keratinocytes in the epidermis (By similarity)
