Gene:
YME1-like 1 (S. cerevisiae)
Gene ID:
198422
Symbol:
YME1L1
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is the human ortholog of yeast mitochondrial AAA metalloprotease, Yme1p. It is localized in the mitochondria and can functionally complement a yme1 disruptant yeast strain. It is proposed that this gene plays a role in mitochondrial protein metabolism and could be involved in mitochondrial pathologies. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
