Frataxin is a higly conserved Protein from bacteria to mammals that has been  proposed to participate in iron-sulfur cluster assebly, mitochondrial iron homeostasis and defense against oxidative streess.We reported the cloning of AtFH, a plant gene with significant homology to other members of the frataxin family. Transcription analysis showed that AtFH is ubiquitously expressed with higher levels in flowers.
