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. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms that localize either to the cytosol or to the mitochondrion. Mutations in this gene have been found in patients with hereditary myopathy with lactic acidosis. A disease-associated mutation in an intron may activate a cryptic splice site, resulting in the production of a splice variant encoding a putatively non-functional protein. A pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016].
The following ISCU gene cDNA ORF clone sequences were retrieved from the NCBI Reference Sequence Database (RefSeq). These sequences represent the protein coding region of the ISCU cDNA ORF which is encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) sequence. ORF sequences can be delivered in our standard vector, pcDNA3.1+/C-(K)DYK or the vector of your choice as an expression/transfection-ready ORF clone. Not the clone you want?

Comment: REVIEWED REFSEQ: This record has been curated by NCBI staff. The reference sequence was derived from AK057251.1, AY009127.1 and BQ020993.1. This sequence is a reference standard in the RefSeqGene project. On Jul 23, 2014 this sequence version replaced NM_014301.3.
Transcript Variant: This variant (1) contains an alternate exon in the 5' region and initiates translation at an alternate start codon compared to variant 2. The encoded isoform (1) has a distinct, shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 2. Isoform 1 is localized to the cytosol.

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) contains an alternate exon in the 3' region, resulting in a different 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 2. Variants 3 and 5 encode the same protein (isoform 3), which has a distinct, shorter C-terminus, compared to isoform 2. Isoform 3 may not be stable (PMID:23035118). This variant may be preferentially produced in individuals containing an alternate intronic C vs G (rs767000507), which activates a cryptic splice acceptor site. The alternate C allele is associated with myopathy (PMIDs 18296749, 18304497).
