| Function | Binds heme and porphyrins and functions in their ATP- dependent uptake into the mitochondria. Plays a crucial role in heme synthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10837493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17006453}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane. Mitochondrion outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. Endosome {ECO:0000250}. Note=localized to the endosome- like compartement and dendrite tips. |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. High expression is detected in the retinal epithelium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10837493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22226084}. |
