Human Stress-70 Protein, Mitochondrial, HSPA9 ELI

Chaperone protein which plays an important role in mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) biogenesis.

Interacts with and stabilizes ISC cluster assembly proteins FXN, NFU1, NFS1 and ISCU (PubMed:26702583). Regulates erythropoiesis via stabilization of ISC assembly (PubMed:21123823, PubMed:26702583). May play a role in the control of cell proliferation and cellular aging (By similarity).
