Structured_description Provisional_description haf-5 encodes a predicted transmembrane half-molecule ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter orthologous to Schizosaccharomyces pombe heavy metal tolerance factor 1 (SpHMT1), an ATP-dependent phytochelatin transporter; HAF-5 is required for cadmium detoxification and by homology, is predicted to promote sequestration of heavy metal-containing phytochelatins into intracellular vacuoles to protect cells from potential damage.

Expression of haf-5 in S. pombe is able to rescue the cadmium-hypersensitivity of hmt1- mutants.
This gene encodes a protein predicted by Eisenberg and coworkers, with 52% accuracy, to be mitochondrial.

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
