Iron Regulatory Protein 1

ACO1 Protein; Aconitase 1, Soluble; Ferritin Repressor Protein; IRE-BP1; IRP-1 Protein; IRP1 Protein; IRE BP1; IRP 1 Protein; Repressor Protein, Ferritin; Soluble Aconitase 1
A multifunctional iron-sulfur protein that is both an iron regulatory protein and cytoplasmic form of aconitate hydratase. It binds to iron regulatory elements found on mRNAs involved in iron metabolism and regulates their translation. Its RNA binding ability and its aconitate hydrolase activity are dependent upon availability of IRON.
