UniProtKB description: Bifunctional iron sensor that switches between 2 activities depending on iron availability (PubMed:1281544, PubMed:1946430, PubMed:8041788). Iron deprivation, promotes its mRNA binding activity through which it regulates the expression of genes involved in iron uptake, sequestration and utilization (PubMed:1281544, PubMed:1946430, PubMed:23891004, PubMed:8041788). Binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES) in the untranslated region of target mRNAs preventing for instance the translation of ferritin and aminolevulinic acid synthase and stabilizing the transferrin receptor mRNA (PubMed:1281544, PubMed:1946430, PubMed:23891004, PubMed:8041788).
