    Glossary SLC39A4 gene

    gene involved in zinc absorption and related deficiencies

    The SLC39A4 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for the absorption of zinc from the diet. Zinc is a crucial mineral for various bodily functions, including immune response and wound healing. Mutations in this gene can lead to zinc deficiency, which can cause conditions like acrodermatitis enteropathica, characterized by skin lesions, hair loss, and diarrhea.
