Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Heme transporter that regulates intracellular heme availability through the endosomal or lysosomal compartment (PubMed:18418376). In macrophages of the reticuloendothelial system, is the heme transporter for heme-iron recycling. Essential for macrophage iron homeostasis, transports heme from the phagolysosome to the cytoplasm during erythrophagocytosis (EP) (PubMed:23395172)
