Summary: Enables amine transmembrane transporter activity; organic anion transmembrane transporter activity; and purine nucleobase transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including aminergic neurotransmitter loading into synaptic vesicle; cGMP transport; and purine nucleobase transport. Located in pigment granule membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including Malpighian tubule; adult glial cell; embryonic/larval fat body; head; and lamina. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Data suggest that age-dependent behavioral/physiological changes differ between wide-type flies (Canton-S flies) and genetically engineered flies null mutation of white gene (w1118 flies); old w1118 flies exhibit decreased path length per minute and reduced 0.2 s path increment compared with young flies, whereas old Canton-S flies exhibit same path length per minute and same 0.2 s path increment compared with young flies.
