Description
Product Characteristics:
This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that is characterized by a poly-proline rich region. A chicken homolog of this protein promotes mitochondrial fission and the mouse homolog protects cells from oxidative stress. A related pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Cell membrane
Synonyms: MTFR 1, Chondrocyte protein with a poly proline region, Chondrocyte protein with a poly-proline region, CHPPR, FAM54A2, KIAA0009, Mitochondrial fission regulator 1, MTFR1_HUMAN.
