- Description
- Exhibits ferrochelatase activity. Involved in erythrocyte maturation. Predicted to localize to mitochondrion. Is expressed in blood; intermediate cell mass of mesoderm; posterior lateral plate mesoderm; and ventral mesoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cutaneous porphyria and erythropoietic protoporphyria. Orthologous to human FECH (ferrochelatase).
