Predicted to enable iron-sulfur cluster binding activity. Involved in several processes, including [2Fe-2S] cluster assembly; cell redox homeostasis; and protein maturation by iron-sulfur cluster transfer. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of iron-sulfur cluster assembly complex.
RGD Description
This gene is located within a region of a segmental duplication on chromosome 16 and is identical to BOLA2 (bolA family member 2). The product of this gene belongs to a family of proteins that are widely conserved and may be involved in iron maturation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
