ZIP6 — Medicago truncatula
Summary
MTR_5G071990, designated MtZIP6, encodes a member of the ZIP family of metal transporters and exhibits zinc ion transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with zinc import and membrane transport, as well as iron and cadmium transport. MtZIP6 is associated with nitrogen fixation, nodulation, and response to nematodes, and its product localises to the plasmalemma. Annotated associations also link the gene to seed development and zinc homeostasis. Studies of related genes in other species connect the ZIP6 family to seed growth and development traits.
