Function

Iron-sulfur cluster scaffold protein which can assemble [4Fe-2S] clusters and deliver them to target proteins. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12886008}.

Subcellular Localization

Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm, cytosol.

Disease Associations

Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1 (MMDS1) [MIM:605711]: A severe disorder of systemic energy metabolism, resulting in weakness, respiratory failure, lack of neurologic development, lactic acidosis, hyperglycinemia and early death. Some patients show failure to thrive, pulmonary hypertension, hypotonia and irritability. Biochemical features include severe combined deficiency of the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases, defective lipoic acid synthesis and reduction in activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. {ECO:0000269PubMed:21944046, ECO:0000269PubMed:22077971}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous. Expression in adult lung is weak compared to fetal lung. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12915448}.
