Protein found in humans
Zinc transporter ZIP9 , also known as Zrt- and Irt-like protein 9 (ZIP9 ) and solute carrier family 39 member 9 , is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC39A9 gene .[ 5] membrane androgen receptor (mAR) coupled to G proteins , and also classified as a zinc transporter protein .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] transport zinc metal from the extracellular environment into cells through cell membrane .[ 6]
