Function | Proton-coupled zinc ion antiporter mediating the entry of zinc into the lumen of pancreatic beta cell secretory granules, thereby regulating insulin secretion. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Associated with insulin and glucagon secretory granules. |
Tissue Location | In the endocrine pancreas, expressed in insulin- producing beta cells. Expressed at relatively high levels in subcutaneous fat tissue from lean persons; much lower levels in visceral fat, whether from lean or obese individuals, and in subcutaneous fat tissue from obese individuals. Expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, including T-cells and B-cells, with great variation among individuals ranging from negative to strongly positive |

Background
Facilitates the accumulation of zinc from the cytoplasm into intracellular vesicles, being a zinc-efflux transporter. May be a major component for providing zinc to insulin maturation and/or storage processes in insulin-secreting pancreatic beta- cells.
