Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Mitochondrial iron transporter that specifically mediates iron uptake in developing erythroid cells, thereby playing an essential role in heme biosynthesis. The iron delivered into the mitochondria, presumably as Fe(2+), is then probably delivered to ferrochelatase to catalyze Fe(2+) incorporation into protoprophyrin IX to make heme. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16511496}.
Subcellular Localization Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Highly expressed in hematopoietic organs, fetal liver, bone marrow and spleen. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11845285, ECO:0000269PubMed:16511496}.
