Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP13915
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2B
Synonyms
  1. hMfsd2b
Gene Name MFSD2B
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Cation-dependent lipid transporter that specifically mediates export of sphingosine-1-phosphate in red blood cells and platelets (PubMed:29045386). Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a signaling sphingolipid and its export from red blood cells into in the plasma is required for red blood cell morphology (By similarity). Does not transport lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) (By similarity).
