Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 23479
Gene name Iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme
Gene symbol ISCU
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
2310020H20RikHMLISU2NIFUNIFUNhnifU
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q23.3
Summary This gene encodes a component of the iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster scaffold. Fe-S clusters are cofactors that play a role in the function of a diverse set of enzymes, including those that regulate metabolism, iron homeostasis, and oxidative stress response.
