Predicted to enable cadmium ion transmembrane transporter activity and manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in intracellular iron ion homeostasis and iron ion transport. Located in fungal-type vacuole membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including anemia (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); leishmaniasis (multiple); and tuberculosis (multiple). Orthologous to human SLC11A1 (solute carrier family 11 member 1) and SLC11A2 (solute carrier family 11 member 2).
SGD Description
Putative divalent metal ion transporter involved in iron homeostasis; transcriptionally regulated by metal ions; member of Nramp family of metal transport proteins; targeted to vacuole via AP-3 pathway; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
