About Fxn

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding activity; ferroxidase activity; and iron ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; negative regulation of organ growth; and proprioception. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cartilage condensation; heart; hemolymphoid system; and lower jaw incisor. Used to study Friedreich ataxia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Friedreich ataxia; Friedreich ataxia 1; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FXN (frataxin).
