Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Electroneutral proton-coupled antiporter concentrating zinc ions into a variety of intracellular organelles including endosomes, zymogen granules and mitochondria. Thereby, plays a crucial role in cellular zinc homeostasis to confer upon cells protection against its potential cytotoxicity (PubMed:17065149, PubMed:21289295, PubMed:22733820, PubMed:25657003, PubMed:25808614, PubMed:30893306). Regulates the zinc concentration of milk, through the transport of zinc ions into secretory vesicles of mammary cells (PubMed:19496757). By concentrating zinc ions into lysosomes participates to lysosomal-mediated cell death during early mammary gland involution (PubMed:25808614).FUNCTION Electroneutral proton-coupled antiporter mediating the efflux of zinc ions through the plasma membrane.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Zn(2+)(in) + 2 H(+)(out) = Zn(2+)(out) + 2 H(+)(in)SUBUNIT Homodimer (PubMed:22733820). Interacts (via lysosomal targeting motif) with AP3D1; in AP-3-mediated transport to lysosomes (PubMed:25808614). Interacts with TMEM163 (PubMed:36204728).INTERACTION Localization to lysosomes is induced by TNF.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Phosphorylated at Ser-296. Phosphorylation at Ser-296 prevents localization to lysosomes. Dephosphorylation of Ser-296 which triggers localization to lysosomes, accumulation of zinc into lysosomes and lysosomal-mediated cell death is induced by TNF.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter (TC 2.A.4) family. SLC30A subfamily.
