Frataxin is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein implicated in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), an human autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease; Frataxin is found in eukaryotes and in purple bacteria; lack of frataxin causes iron to accumulate in the mitochondrial matrix suggesting that frataxin is involved in mitochondrial iron homeostasis and possibly in iron transport; the domain has an alpha-beta fold consisting of two helices flanking an antiparallel beta sheet.
