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

    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
