Primary Identifier | MGI:1921354 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 74104 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ABC-type transporter activity. Involved in porphyrin-containing compound metabolic process. Located in endosome and extracellular exosome. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria. Orthologous to human ABCB6 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 6 (LAN blood group)). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display partial lethality, impaired stress erythropoiesis, and absence of ATP-dependent transport of Coproporphyrin III in mitochondria.
