    Glossary SLC39A family

    group of genes encoding proteins that transport zinc into cells

    The SLC39A family refers to a group of genes that encode zinc transporters, which are proteins responsible for moving zinc into cells. Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including immune function, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Mutations or dysregulation in these genes can lead to various health issues, including hair loss and other disorders.
