Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein, which is evolutionarily conserved. It is involved in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur clusters, which are required for normal iron homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive pyridoxine-refractory sideroblastic anemia. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010].
- UniProt Summary: Monothiol glutaredoxin involved in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur clusters (PubMed:20364084). Involved in protein lipoylation, acting in the pathway that provides an iron-sulfur cluster to lipoate synthase (PubMed:24334290). Required for normal iron homeostasis. Required for normal regulation of hemoglobin synthesis by the iron-sulfur protein ACO1 (PubMed:20364084). May protect cells against apoptosis due to reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80Y14, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20364084, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24334290}.
