Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Cation-dependent lipid transporter that specifically mediates export of sphingosine-1-phosphate in red blood cells and platelets (PubMed:29045386). Sphingosine-1-phosphate is a signaling sphingolipid and its export from red blood cells into in the plasma is required for red blood cell morphology (By similarity). Does not transport lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3T9M1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29045386}.
