CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria,matrix

basic FUNCTION	electron transport flavoprotein for mitochondrial P450s
	mitochondrial flavoprotein that transfers electrons from NADPH to mitochondrial cytochrome P450 enzymes, mediating the function of an iron-sulfur cluster protein, ferredoxin
	MPZL3 and FDXR increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) to drive epidermal differentiation
	ROS induction by the MPZL3 and FDXR mitochondrial proteins is therefore essential for epidermal differentiation
	necessary for mitochondrial iron homeostasis and proper expression of several master regulators of iron metabolism, including iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2)
	mitochondrial ferredoxin reductase, the sole human ferredoxin reductase implicated in the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters (ISCs) and in heme formation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule	metal binding,
	FAD

protein	interference with any of the three related genes, FDX1, FDX1L or FDXR, disrupts iron-sulfur cluster assembly and maintenance of normal cytosolic and mitochondrial iron homeostasis
	FDXR is a novel NR5A1 target gene
	abundant FDXR expression in the steroidogenic cells was maintained through NR5A1 binding to the intronic enhancer of the FDXR gene
	in mitochondria, MPZL3 interacted with FDXR, which was itself also found to be essential for differentiation
	mitochondrial cytochrome P450s require adrenodoxin (FDX1) and adrenodoxin reductase (FDXR)
	target of TP53, modulates TP53-dependent apoptosis and is necessary for steroidogenesis and biogenesis of iron-sulfur clusters

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Fdxr-deficient mouse model led to embryonic lethality potentially due to iron overload in developing embryos
