Summary: Enables ferrochelatase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; response to lead ion; and response to platinum ion. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cutaneous porphyria and erythropoietic protoporphyria. Orthologous to human FECH (ferrochelatase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
