motifs/domains
  • one ATP binding site
  • one transmembrane domains (6 segments) (half-type ATP binding cassette), constituent of mitochondria (the N terminus containing the information for targeting and import into the organelle)
  • mono polymer homomer , heteromer , dimer

    basic FUNCTION
  • half-ABC transporter, traffic ATPase, mitochondrial iron transport, involved in iron homeostasis
  • export a mitochondrially derived metabolite required for cytosolic Fe-S cluster assembly
  • involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation
  • essential for hematopoiesis
  • regulates not only the expression of extramitochondrial thioredoxin but also that of an intramitochondrial iron-sulfur-containing protein ferratase
  • may be required for mitochondrial iron homeostasis in neural cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
