Family 9.B.1 - The Metal Homeostasis Protein (MHP) Family

Family ID: 53384

A single protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae constitutes the MHP family. This protein, Bsd2, is involved in metal homeostasis and may transport Cu2+, Mn2+, Co2+ and Cd2+ in the endoplasmic reticulum. Bsd2 may indirectly regulate protein trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum, the plasma membrane and the endosomes. It may also mediate sensitivity to oxygen in intact yeast cells.

Bsd2 has 321 amino acyl residues with three putative transmembrane a-helical spanners.
