NP_015044.1

Protein involved in fluoride export; nearly identical to FEX1, and deletion of both proteins results in a large increase in fluoride sensitivity compared with the single mutant; contains two FEX domains connected by a linker; part of a widespread family of conserved fluoride export proteins
