Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables folic acid:proton symporter activity; heme transmembrane transporter activity; and methotrexate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in folate import across plasma membrane; heme transport; and tetrahydrofolate biosynthetic process. Located in apical plasma membrane and cytoplasm. Is active in basolateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 1-cell stage conceptus; 2-cell stage conceptus; 4-8 cell stage conceptus; gonad; and morula-stage conceptus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary folate malabsorption. Orthologous to human SLC46A1 (solute carrier family 46 member 1).
