CHCHD3 coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 3

Gene ID: 54927, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Mic19; MINOS3; MICOS19; PPP1R22

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an inner mitochondrial membrane scaffold protein. Absence of the encoded protein affects the structural integrity of mitochondrial cristae and leads to reductions in ATP production, cell growth, and oxygen consumption. This protein is part of the mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS). Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
