Zinc transporter 7 (Slc30a7)

Seems to ease zinc transport from the cytoplasm into the Golgi apparatus. Partly modulates cellular zinc homeostasis.

Required with ZNT5 for the activation of zinc- requiring enzymes, alkaline phosphatases (ALPs). Transports zinc into the lumens of the Golgi apparatus and the vesicular compartments where ALPs find, thus, converting apoALPs to holoALPs.
