Catalytic component of a P4-ATPase flippase complex which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled to the transport of aminophospholipids, phosphatidylserines (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PE), from the outer to the inner leaflet of intracellular membranes . May contribute to the maintenance of membrane lipid asymmetry in endosome compartment .
Recycling endosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein. Early endosome . Endoplasmic reticulum . Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network . Exit from the endoplasmic reticulum requires the presence of TMEM30A, but not TMEM30B (PubMed:21914794). In the presence of TMEM30A, mainly located in recycling endosomes (PubMed:21914794). .
