rhr-1 encodes an ortholog of human Rhesus blood-group associated glycoprotein (RHAG; OMIM:180297, mutated in chronic hemolytic anemia), a member of the ammonium transporter family, and affects general levels of mRNA transcripts, and embryonic viability in a large-scale RNAi screen.
Enables ammonium transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in ammonium transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rh deficiency syndrome; Rh isoimmunization; and overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis. Is an ortholog of human RHAG (Rh associated glycoprotein); RHBG (Rh family B glycoprotein); and RHCG (Rh family C glycoprotein).
Map 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.
