Enables ferrochelatase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; response to lead ion; and response to platinum ion. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cutaneous porphyria and erythropoietic protoporphyria. Orthologous to human FECH (ferrochelatase).
