Biological function summary
Several cellular processes depend on the correct function of this protein. Frataxin assists in forming iron-sulfur clusters acting within a multiprotein complex in the mitochondria. The complex includes proteins such as ISCU which are involved in the assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters. These clusters are necessary for supporting mitochondrial electron transport and other fundamental metabolic pathways that require iron-sulfur dependencies.
Pathways
Frataxin's involvement extensively affects the mitochondrial respiratory chain and the mitochondrial biogenesis process. It plays a role in the electron transport chain by stabilizing iron-sulfur-containing complexes. NAB is one associated protein that interacts closely within these pathways sharing a connection through iron-sulfur cluster transportation and assembly systems. Efficient function of these pathways ensures a proper energetic output of cells.
