GLRX5

Glutaredoxin 5 also known as GLRX5 is a is_associated_with::protein which in humans is encoded by the GLRX5 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
The gene that encodes this mitochondrial protein is conserved evolutionarily and plays a role in the formation of iron-sulfur clusters, which function to maintain iron homeostasis.

Clinical significance
Mutations in the GLRX5 gene have been associated with is_associated_with::sideroblastic anemia and variant is_associated_with::NKH.
