Disease
ABCB7_HUMAN X-linked sideroblastic anemia and spinocerebellar ataxia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
ABCB7_HUMAN Exports glutathione-coordinated iron-sulfur clusters such as [2Fe-2S]-(GS)4 cluster from the mitochondria to the cytosol in an ATP-dependent manner allowing the assembly of the cytosolic iron-sulfur (Fe/S) cluster-containing proteins and participates in iron homeostasis (PubMed:10196363, PubMed:17192393, PubMed:33157103). Moreover, through a functional complex formed of ABCB7, FECH and ABCB10, also plays a role in the cellular iron homeostasis, mitochondrial function and heme biosynthesis (PubMed:30765471). In cardiomyocytes, regulates cellular iron homeostasis and cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels through its interaction with COX4I1 (By similarity). May also play a role in hematopoiesis (By similarity).[UniProtKB:Q61102][UniProtKB:Q704E8][1] [2] [3] [4]
