Abstract excerpt
ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 10 (Abcb10) is a mitochondrial ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that complexes with mitoferrin1 and ferrochelatase to enhance heme biosynthesis in developing red blood cells. Reductions in Abcb10 levels have been shown to reduce mitoferrin1 protein levels and iron import into mitochondria, resulting in reduced heme biosynthesis. As an ABC transporter, Abcb10 binds and...
