SLC25A28 Proteins and Enzymes

Mitochondrial iron transporter that mediates iron uptake. Probably required for heme synthesis ofhemoproteins and Fe-S cluster assembly in non-erythroid cells. The iron delivered into the mitochondria, presumably asFe(2+), is then probably delivered to ferrochelatase to catalyze Fe(2+) incorporation into protoprophyrin IX to makeheme
