MTO1 mitochondrial tRNA translation optimization 1

Gene ID: 25821, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CGI-02; COXPD10

Summary

This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein thought to be involved in mitochondrial tRNA modification. The encoded protein may also play a role in the expression of the non-syndromic and aminoglycoside-induced deafness phenotypes associated with a specific mutation in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
