					Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Glutaredoxin 5 , also known as GLRX5 , is a protein  which in humans is encoded by the GLRX5  gene  located on chromosome 14 .[ 5]   This gene encodes a mitochondrial  protein, which is evolutionarily conserved . It is involved in the biogenesis of iron- sulfur clusters , which are required for normal iron homeostasis . Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive pyridoxine-refractory  sideroblastic anemia .[ 6]  
 
The GLRX5 gene contains 2 exons  and encodes for a protein that is 13 kDa in size. The protein is highly expressed in erythroid cells .[ 7]   Crystal structure  of the GLRX5 protein reveals that the protein likely exists as a tetramer with two Fe-S clusters  buried in the interior.[ 8]  
GLRX5 is a mitochondrial  protein, found in mitochondrial matrix and it  is conserved evolutionarily and plays a role in the formation of iron-sulfur clusters , which function to maintain iron homeostasis  within the mitochondria and in the cell. GLRX5 is required for the steps in haem synthesis  that involves mitochondrial enzymes,[ 9]   and is therefore involved in hematopoiesis . GLRX5 activity is required for normal regulation of hemoglobin synthesis by the iron-sulfur protein ACO1 . The function of GLRX5 is highly conserved evolutionarily.[ 10]  
Clinical significance [ edit ]  
Mutations in the GLRX5 gene have been associated with sideroblastic anemia ,[ 11]   variant glycine encephalopathy  (also known as non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, NKH ).[ 12]   as well as pyridoxine-refractory, autosomal recessive anemia (PRARSA).[ 10]   Cells with mutations in GLRX5 activity show deficiency in Fe-S cluster synthesis, which is likely causative of the observed symptoms.[ 7]
