Description

The SLC41A2 (solute carrier family 41 member 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.

SLC41A2 acts as a plasma membrane magnesium transporter. It can also transport other divalent metal cations, with a preference for barium (Ba2+), followed by nickel (Ni2+), cobalt (Co2+), iron (Fe2+), and manganese (Mn2+).

SLC41A2 is also known as SLC41A1-L1.
