Isca1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding activity. Predicted to be involved in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and protein maturation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 5. Orthologous to human ISCA1 (iron-sulfur cluster assembly 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Isca1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
