FET5-FTH1 high affinity iron exporter complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
High-affinity vacuolar exporter complex which transports ferrous iron ions (Fe(II), Fe2+) from the vacuole, the main storage component of intracellular free iron, into the cytoplasm in a low iron environment. The complex forms in the endoplasmic reticulum and then traffics to the vacuolar membrane. Plays a role in the switch from fermentative metabolism to respiratory metabolism.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
