Protein of unknown function involved in ergosterol biosynthesis; conditional mutants produce less ergosterol, display impaired oxygen consumption, respiratory growth, mitochondrial iron utilization, and are more sensitive to oxidative stress; mutant bm-8 has a growth defect on iron-limited medium that is complemented by overexpression of Yfh1p; protein localizes to the cytoplasm, ER and nuclear envelope; highly conserved in ascomycetes [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004741]
