    Summary
    Enables riboflavin transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 1; Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome 2; Fazio-Londe disease; and riboflavin deficiency. Orthologous to human SLC52A1 (solute carrier family 52 member 1); SLC52A2 (solute carrier family 52 member 2); and SLC52A3 (solute carrier family 52 member 3).
