Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable heme binding activity and heme transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in heme export. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and yolk sac. Used to study proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in proliferative vasculopathy and hydranencephaly-hydrocephaly syndrome. Orthologous to human FLVCR2 (FLVCR choline and putative heme transporter 2).
