Predicted to enable acyl binding activity and acyl carrier activity. Involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and lipoate biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Part of mitochondrial [2Fe-2S] assembly complex. Orthologous to human NDUFAB1 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit AB1).
SGD Description
Mitochondrial matrix acyl carrier protein; involved in biosynthesis of octanoate, which is a precursor to lipoic acid; coordinates mitochondrial fatty acid and iron sulfur cluster metabolism; activated by phosphopantetheinylation catalyzed by Ppt2p
