Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsmf-2 encodes one of three C. elegans divalent-metal ion transporters (DMTs) orthologous to the mammalian DMT1 transporters and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Smf proteins; in C. elegans, SMF-2 appears to function as both a manganese and iron transporter that regulates metal content; mutations in smf-2 display a decreased tolerance to manganeseexposure; SMF-2 is expressed mainly in the marginal pharyngeal epithelium from late embryogenesis through adulthood; SMF-2 localizes primarily to cytoplasmic compartments, with some apical plasma membrane localization seen in the mc cells; smf-2 is overexpressed in smf-1 and smf-3 mutants, and SMF-2 appears to be required for smf-1 and smf-3 expression changes in response to manganese; when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, smf-2 can rescue the EGTA hypersensitivity of Smf1+2 mutants.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00035485

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable cadmium ion transmembrane transporter activity; iron ion transmembrane transporter activity; and manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in intracellular iron ion homeostasis; manganese ion homeostasis; and response to manganese ion. Located in apical plasma membrane. Expressed in dopaminergic neurons; gonadal sheath cell; marginal cell; and pharyngeal-intestinal valve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); leishmaniasis (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human SLC11A1 (solute carrier family 11 member 1) and SLC11A2 (solute carrier family 11 member 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (16)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
