Summary: Enables cadmium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in cadmium ion transmembrane transport; cellular detoxification of cadmium ion; and detoxification of copper ion. Located in endosome and vacuolar membrane. Is integral component of membrane. Is expressed in coelomocyte; head neurons; intestine; and tail neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria. Orthologous to human ABCB6 (ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 6 (Langereis blood group)).
