SLC39A10

Chr 2

solute carrier family 39 member 10

Also known as: LZT-Hs2, ZIP10

This protein functions as a zinc-influx transporter that forms heterodimers with SLC39A6 to mediate cellular zinc uptake, playing essential roles in mitosis initiation and B-cell maintenance. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental delays, intellectual disability, and seizures, typically with onset in infancy or early childhood. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely incompatible with normal development.

Clinical SummarySLC39A10
Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 0.99). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
