fasta formatted sequence

Function: Binds heme and porphyrins and functions in their ATP- dependent uptake into the mitochondria. Plays a crucial role in heme synthesis.
Disease:
Cellular location: Cell membrane. Mitochondrion outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed. High expression is detected in the retinal epithelium.

Genetic variants

Genetic variations in ABCB6 define the Langereis blood group system (LAN) [MIM:111600]. Individuals with Lan(-) blood group lack the Lan antigen on their red blood cells. These individuals may have anti-Lan antibodies in their serum, which can cause transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease of the fetus or newborn. The Lan(-) blood group is only clinically significant in transfusion settings or during pregnancy; otherwise Lan(-) individuals have no clinical features.
