MTRFR mitochondrial translation release factor in rescue

Gene ID: 91574, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SPG55; COXPD7; mtRF-R; C12orf65

Summary

This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix protein that appears to contribute to peptide chain termination in the mitochondrial translation machinery. Two different 1 bp deletions (resulting in the same premature stop codon)result in decreased mitochondrial translation, decreased levels of oxidative phosphorylation complexes and encepthalomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
