The protein functions in regulating mitochondrial iron transport and respiration. The expansion of intronic trinucleotide repeat GAA from 8-33 repeats to >90 repeats results in Friedreich ataxia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Promotes the biosynthesis of heme and assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe(2+) to proteins involved in these pathways. May play a role in the protection against iron-catalyzed oxidative stress through its ability to catalyze the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+); the oligomeric form but not the monomeric form has in vitro ferroxidase activity. May be able to store large amounts of iron in the form of a ferrihydrite mineral by oligomerization; however, the physiological relevance is unsure as reports are conflicting and the function has only been shown using heterologous overexpression systems. Modulates the RNA-binding activity of ACO1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12785837, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15247478, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15641778, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16239244, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16608849, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20053667}. |Frataxin Cyay| |regulation of ferrochelatase activity| |L-cysteine desulfurase complex| |metal incorporation into metallo-sulfur cluster| |regulation of succinate dehydrogenase activity| |iron chaperone activity| |iron incorporation into metallo-sulfur cluster| |positive regulation of succinate dehydrogenase activity| |regulation of aconitate hydratase activity| |positive regulation of aconitate hydratase activity| |proprioception| |ferroxidase activity| |negative regulation of multicellular organism growth| |ferric iron binding| |protein autoprocessing| |neuromuscular process controlling posture| |negative regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria| |metallo-sulfur cluster assembly| |iron-sulfur cluster assembly| |2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding| |heme biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of lyase activity| |ferrous iron binding| |porphyrin-containing compound biosynthetic process| |tetrapyrrole biosynthetic process| |adult walking behavior| |heme metabolic process| |walking behavior| |negative regulation of organ growth| |response to iron ion| |porphyrin-containing compound metabolic process| |regulation of lyase activity| |regulation of release of cytochrome c from mitochondria| |pigment biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of oxidoreductase activity| |negative regulation of mitochondrion organization| |tetrapyrrole metabolic process| |cellular iron ion homeostasis| |pigment metabolic process| |regulation of multicellular organism growth| |cellular response to hydrogen peroxide| |adult locomotory behavior| |aerobic respiration| |iron ion homeostasis| |regulation of organ growth| |regulation of oxidoreductase activity| |negative regulation of developmental growth| |cellular transition metal ion homeostasis| |neuromuscular process| |oxidative phosphorylation| |cellular response to antibiotic| |response to hydrogen peroxide| |cellular response to reactive oxygen species| |transition metal ion homeostasis| |adult behavior| |protein processing| |positive regulation of cell growth| |cellular respiration| |regulation of mitochondrion organization| |response to reactive oxygen species| |locomotory behavior| |ATP metabolic process| |cofactor biosynthetic process| |cellular response to toxic substance| |negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway| |protein maturation| |energy derivation by oxidation of organic compounds| |cellular response to oxidative stress| |negative regulation of growth| |positive regulation of growth| |response to antibiotic| |regulation of developmental growth| |sulfur compound metabolic process| |mitochondrial matrix| |response to metal ion| |negative regulation of organelle organization| |response to oxidative stress| |regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway| |cellular response to drug| |regulation of cell growth| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |cofactor metabolic process| |mitochondrion organization| |response to toxic substance| |response to inorganic substance| |cellular metal ion homeostasis| |behavior| |metal ion homeostasis| |cellular cation homeostasis| |cellular ion homeostasis| |embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching| |regulation of growth| |negative regulation of cellular component organization| |cation homeostasis| |inorganic ion homeostasis| |cellular chemical homeostasis| |ion homeostasis| |negative regulation of apoptotic process| |cellular homeostasis| |negative regulation of programmed cell death| |positive regulation of cell population proliferation| |negative regulation of developmental process| |oxidation-reduction process| |sensory perception| |embryo development| |negative regulation of cell death| |response to drug| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |chemical homeostasis| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of multicellular organismal process| |mitochondrion| |negative regulation of signal transduction| |proteolysis| |phosphorylation| |regulation of organelle organization| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of cell communication| |negative regulation of signaling| |ion transport| |nervous system process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of catalytic activity| |regulation of apoptotic process| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |regulation of programmed cell death| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |negative regulation of response to stimulus| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |homeostatic process| |regulation of cell death| |cellular response to stress| |small molecule metabolic process| |positive regulation of molecular function| |system process| |gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
