Mitoferrin-1

Mitoferrin-1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC25A37 is_associated_with::gene. It is an iron transporter that imports ferrous iron from the cytoplasm into mitochondria for the synthesis of heme groups and Fe-S clusters. It shows homology to is_associated_with::mitoferrin-2 (SLC25A28).
