Description
Product Characteristics: This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial protein which belongs to the FRATAXIN family. The protein functions in regulating mitochondrial iron transport and respiration. The expansion of intronic trinucleotide repeat GAA from 8-33 repeats to >90 repeats results in Friedreich ataxia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.,FXN,CyaY,FA,FARR,FRDA,X25,frataxin,Signal Transduction,Endocrine & Metabolism,Mitochondrial metabolism,Mitochondrial markers,FXN
