SLC30A2
solute carrier family 30 member 2 | ZNT2

The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc transporter that acts as a homodimer. The encoded protein plays a role in secreting zinc into breast milk. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

SLC30A2 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating SLC30A2 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for SLC30A2. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = SLC30A2 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to SLC30A2

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of SLC30A2, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
