Structural highlightsDisease[CNNM4_HUMAN] Jalili syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function[CNNM4_HUMAN] Probable metal transporter. The interaction with the metal ion chaperone COX11 suggests that it may play a role in sensory neuron functions (By similarity). May play a role in biomineralization and retinal function.[1] [2]
