FDX2
Description
The FDX2 gene provides instructions for making a protein called ferredoxin reductase 2. This protein plays a crucial role in cellular respiration, a process that converts food into energy. Specifically, FDX2 is involved in the electron transport chain, a series of reactions that transfer electrons from one molecule to another, generating energy. Mutations in the FDX2 gene can disrupt this process, leading to various health problems.
