MTFMT
Description
The MTFMT (mitochondrial methionyl-tRNA formyltransferase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 15.
The MTFMT gene encodes a protein located in mitochondria that is responsible for the formylation of methionyl-tRNA. This process is crucial for protein synthesis within mitochondria. Mutations in the MTFMT gene can lead to mitochondrial diseases.
This enzyme catalyzes the attachment of a formyl group to methionyl-tRNA within mitochondria. This process is essential for initiating protein synthesis in mitochondria.
MTFMT is also known as COXPD15, FMT1, MC1DN27.
