Gene ID: 54968, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MC5DN2

Summary

This gene likely encodes a mitochondrial membrane protein. The encoded protein may play a role in biogenesis of mitochondrial ATP synthase. Mutations in this gene have been associated with neonatal mitochondrial encephalocardiomyopathy due to ATP synthase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
