SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	regulating actin polymerization by stimulating the actin- nucleating activity of the actin-related protein ACTR2/ACTR3 complex
	exporting cytoplasmic heme and may be required on developing erythroid cells to protect them from heme toxicity
	critical role for early erythropoiesis
	mediates heme export from macrophages that ingest senescent red cells and regulates hepatic iron

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

FLVCR1 null mice, despite dying in utero and having reduced myeloid and lymphoid cell growth, show a disruption in early erythropoiesis and have craniofacial and limb deformities similar to those found in some Diamond-Blackfan anemia patient
