Background: Frataxin intermediate form can cleave by mitochondrial processing peptidase(MPP) to the mature frataxin. Frataxin is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein highly conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Its deficiency was initially described as the phenotype of Friedreich"s ataxia, an autosomal recessive disease in humans. Although several functions have been described for frataxin, that is, involvement in Fe-S cluster and heme synthesis, energy conversion and oxidative phosphorylation, iron handling and response to oxidative damage, its precise function remains unclear. Although there is a general consensus on the participation of frataxin in the maintenance of cellular iron homeostasis and in iron metabolism, this protein may have other specific functions in different tissues and organisms.
Bio Acitivity: Not validated for activity
Sequence: Leu42-Ala210
Purity: > 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
