About Mfsd2a

Summary

Enables fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity; lysophosphatidylcholine flippase activity; and lysophospholipid:sodium symporter activity. Involved in central nervous system development; lipid transport; and transcytosis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including photoreceptor cell development; regulation of lipid metabolic process; and retina development in camera-type eye. Located in plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 15. Orthologous to human MFSD2A (major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A).
