    Summary
    Enables large ribosomal subunit rRNA binding activity. Involved in mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit assembly; positive regulation of mitochondrial translation; and regulation of mitochondrial transcription. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in organism. Orthologous to human MTERF3 (mitochondrial transcription termination factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. We demonstrate here that decreased expression of MTERF3 not only leads to activation of mtDNA transcription, but also impairs assembly of the large mitochondrial ribosomal subunit.

    2. These results indicate that D-MTERF3 is involved in mitochondrial translation.
