Full name: glutaredoxin 5

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: C14orf87; FLB4739; GRX5; PR01238; PRO1238; PRSA; SIDBA3; SPAHGC

Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein, which is evolutionarily conserved. It is involved in the biogenesis of iron-sulfur clusters, which are required for normal iron homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive pyridoxine-refractory sideroblastic anemia. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
