UniProtKB description: May play a role in the transmembrane transport of tetrapyrroles and similar compounds, and thereby contribute to the regulation of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (PubMed:10409680). Binds tetrapyrroles and promotes the photooxidative degradation of protoporphyrin IX (PubMed:23651039). Binds protoporphyrin IX, hemin, and coproporphyrin III, but does not bind delta-aminolevulinic acid (PubMed:20541505, PubMed:23952237, PubMed:25635101). Can bind bilirubin, curcumin, gossypol, retinoic acid, cholesterol and the benzodiazepine receptor agonist PK-11195 (in vitro) (PubMed:23952237, PubMed:25635101). Plays a role in the response to low oxygen levels and in the regulation of the biosynthesis of photosynthetic pigments (PubMed:10409680, PubMed:10681549, PubMed:7673149).
