Plasma membrane receptor for plant antifungal osmotin; involved in zinc ion homeostasis, apoptosis; negatively regulates ZRT1 and other functionally divergent genes through CCCTC promoter motif (IzRE); modulates FET3 activity in iron-independent manner; affects gene expression by influencing balance of competition between Msn2p/Msn4p and Nrg1p/Nrg2p for binding to IzRE; transcription regulated by Zap1p, zinc, fatty acid levels; homolog of mammalian adiponectin receptor
