Gene: FLVCR1

Alternate names for this Gene: AXPC1|FLVCR|MFSD7B|PCA|PCARP|SLC49A1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the major facilitator superfamily of transporter proteins. The encoded protein is a heme transporter that may play a critical role in erythropoiesis by protecting developing erythroid cells from heme toxicity. This gene may play a role in posterior column ataxia with retinitis pigmentosa and the hematological disorder Diamond-Blackfan syndrome.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q32.3
