Enables high-affinity zinc transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in zinc ion import across plasma membrane. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SLC39A1 (solute carrier family 39 member 1); SLC39A2 (solute carrier family 39 member 2); and SLC39A3 (solute carrier family 39 member 3).
SGD Description
High-affinity zinc transporter of the plasma membrane; responsible for the majority of zinc uptake; transcription is induced under low-zinc conditions by the Zap1p transcription factor
