Frataxin is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein implicated in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), an human autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease; Frataxin is found in eukaryotes and in purple bacteria; lack of frataxin causes iron to accumulate in the mitochondrial matrix suggesting that frataxin is involved in mitochondrial iron homeostasis and possibly in iron transport; the domain has an alpha-beta fold consisting of two helices flanking an antiparallel beta sheet.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
