DESCRIPTION

Also known as ATM1_NOVAD, atm1. Mediates the ATP-dependent export of glutathione-conjugated substrates, such as heavy metal-glutathione conjugates. ATP hydrolysis is stimulated by glutathione binding. Protects cells against toxic heavy metal ions, such as silver and mercury ions. May also mediate the transport of glutathione-conjugated aromatic hydrocarbons, such as dinitrobenzene. Homodimer.
