| Function |
Mitochondrial carrier required during erythropoiesis. Probably involved in the biosynthesis of heme, possibly by facilitating 5-aminolevulinate (ALA) production. May act by importing glycine into mitochondria or by exchanging glycine for ALA across the mitochondrial inner membrane. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_03064, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19412178}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03064}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03064}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Preferentially expressed in erythroid cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19412178}.
