Title: Deletion of Mfsd2b impairs thrombotic functions of platelets.
Using microarray analysis of erythroid cell lines overexpressing human and mouse MFSD2B study showed sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) transport activity. The properties of S1P release by MFSD2B were similar to those in erythrocytes. Moreover, knockout of MFSD2B in MEDEP-E14 cells decreased S1P export from the cells. These results strongly suggest that MFSD2B is a novel S1P transporter in erythroid cells.

S1P secretion by Mfsd2b is critical for red blood cell morphology; data reveal an unexpected physiological role of red blood cells in sphingolipid metabolism in circulation; findings open new avenues for investigating the signalling roles of S1P derived from red blood cells and platelets
Title: Mfsd2b is essential for the sphingosine-1-phosphate export in erythrocytes and platelets.
Results identify Mfsd2a (major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2a) and an additional closely related protein Mfsd2b, and suggest that Mfsd2a plays a role in adaptive thermogenesis.
Title: Mfsd2a encodes a novel major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein highly induced in brown adipose tissue during fasting and adaptive thermogenesis.

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.
