|
| Function |
Mitochondrial iron transporter that mediates iron uptake. Probably required for heme synthesis of hemoproteins and Fe-S cluster assembly in non-erythroid cells. The iron delivered into the mitochondria, presumably as Fe(2+), is then probably delivered to ferrochelatase to catalyze Fe(2+) incorporation into protoprophyrin IX to make heme (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11297739}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11297739}. Note=Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are both localized in the mitochondrion.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Expressed in placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas, liver, brain, skeletal muscle and heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11297739}.
