Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables heme B transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in heme B biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; embryonic digit morphogenesis; and spleen development. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including duodenum; ectoplacental cone; immune system; placenta; and yolk sac. Used to study Diamond-Blackfan anemia.
